How to Learn About Mathematica

The best way to learn about Mathematica is to explore, experiment, and ask lots of questions. Come to the Math Question Center (MQC) and ask people there for help. An excellent place to start your exploration  is the collection of built-in resources on Mathematica's Help menu.  Just launch Mathematica and click on Help. The  brief Tutorial is quite good, and the Getting Started/Demos section contains a lot of material worth browsing.
