Introduction

There are several lists of Mathematica tips on the web, such as example1 . I have tried to avoid duplicating the efforts of others, but obviously there may be some overlap with other lists. I have also included a list of bugs that I have encountered.

Just because I have mentioned bugs and some tricky issues in this list should not be taken as a criticism of Mathematica. I think Mathematica is a splendid product (otherwise I would not wish to work with it) and all large pieces of software have at least a few bugs!

1. Optimising Mathematica performance.

2. Making a toolbox.

3. Too many definitions can be a bad thing!

4. What if there is a bug in Mathematica

5. Why does Mathematica spell out all its special function names?
