How to use Mathematica

I use and like Mathematica, but if I had it to do it all again, I probably would use Matlab and Marple (sp?). I may still change.

Plot: A trivial example script that plots an ellipse.
Examples: These scripts draw a spirale, julia set, and a mandelbrot set. These examples are from somewhere on the web. I do not know the author anymore though.
Vplot: A perl script that translates mathematica line drawings to vplot.
Emacs, TeX: A reference to a toolset that integrates emacs, TeX, and Mathematica.
TeX: An example that integrates two mathematica figures into a document. The mathematica scripts f2a.ma computes the figure FigR.ps and f3a.ma computes FigM.ps. The paper.tex file integrates the figures into a TeX file using standard SEP TeX macros. The makefile facilitates SEP's standard reproducibility. Ray Abma wrote the example. A few comments are in the README file.
Animatioin: This directory includes a DMO paper with some nice animation. I later did the same animation in vplot, I believe. I will need to figure out the details of that example. The original idea for the animation is from Jim Black.

Some shortcuts in the X-interface

The Mod1 key can be set by the user (see help menu). The default seems to be the meta key.

Command	Purpose
Mod1 c	copy
Mod1 x	delete
Mod1 v	paste
Mod1 s	save
Mod1 q	quit
shift Mod1	select all cells

Mod1 c copy Mod1 x delete Mod1 v paste Mod1 s save Mod1 q quit shift Mod1 selsct all cells the mod 1 key (as well as others) can be set in the help menu (X info box). currently it defaults to the meta key.
