Course Overview
Your how-to for coding in the Wolfram Language
This course is an introduction to the Wolfram Language using Mathematica. In today's computer age, the ability to write code is becoming just as important as reading and writing. From doing scientific work to manipulating data and creating applications and web resources, computer coding is everywhere.
The Wolfram Language is an ideal candidate for your first language. Even if you are seasoned in other languages, it is worthwhile to take a look at this powerful yet easy to learn language. The structure of the language is such that once you understand a few basics, it becomes almost intuitive to guess at what new code should look like without having to explicitly learn it. This sets it apart from so many other languages.
The Wolfram Language is also unique in that it gives you access to information right inside of the coding environment. It makes knowledge computable. Through the Wolfram Language you will have access to an enormous amount of data and knowledge.
You can purchase a subscription to Mathematica or Woflram|One or use it free of charge in your browser.
Come and join the rest of use and take your first steps into a new world.

Overall, the course is good for a quick dive into Mathematics. The material is taught well, so it covers the basics in an easy-to-understand way. However, the course doesn't end properly. Some farewell words are expected, but what's more important is that there's a statistics chapter that is mentioned at the end of the last video but is missing. Perhaps other topics are missing as well.

I found this course very interesting. The concepts are expressed clearly and I had no problems assimilating them. The course is aimed at those taking their first steps with mathematica, I recommend it for beginners. Congratulations to the teacher

Beginner level descriptions, only touches the surface of what you can do with Mathematica. I recommend the course if you know very little about the tool and want a broad overview and don't want to read a book with a lot more examples. You really can't go over the tool in detail in a class like this, it is such a broad and powerful language to do that.

This course provided nothing short of a sturdy foundation for an introduction into Mathematica. Even when you go on to producing much more complicated algorithms, it is often understanding the use of the basics that makes you far more efficient. This course provides exactly that with plenty of examples and precise guidance. The notebooks available for download are perfectly handy to have ready when working on more complicated tasks.
