This saved me in a Wolfram Mathematica class

I used this as a supplement to a Computational Problem Solving class where the teachers were not so great, and this book was my savior for learning the Wolfram Language!! It focuses mostly on the graphics and plotting aspects of Wolfram Mathematica and gives about 5 to 6 examples of how to use each command it introduces. It is very hard to use Wolfram's documentation center when you have no idea to even start, and this book is more in-depth than the free virtual textbook. If you are a student taking a math/coding class that uses Wolfram Mathematica and are lost, this book will be your guide and is a great purchase.
