Outline

  • Recognizing Expressions
    Introducing expressions and their structure, manipulating expressions, evaluating expressions and displaying expressions.
  • Assignments and Evaluation
    Introducing assignments, the differences between immediate and delayed assignments and how assignments fit into the framework of understanding expressions.
  • Pattern Matching
    Explaining how elements in expressions can be recognized and modified through pattern matching.
  • Loops vs. Maps
    Illustrating how built-in functions in the Wolfram Language make it quick and easy to operate on the individual elements of a list or expression.
  • Scoping Constructs, Naming of Functions, and Data Types
    Explaining how to set contexts and limit the scope of symbols to create stable, low-maintenance code to solve difficult problems.
