This book provides a concise and practical introduction to quantum computing, emphasizing an interactive, hands-on approach. It introduces and explores the essential concepts, principles and foundational quantum algorithms through guided modeling and simulation exercises. Each topic is developed computationally, allowing readers to build both intuition and technical proficiency by directly engaging with the computational mechanics of quantum systems. The approach taken here is computation first, meaning that understanding arises through the act of calculation, echoing David Mermin’s well-known slogan, “shut up and calculate.” Continue reading at the publisher's website.

Today, I am happy to announce a free interactive course, Introduction to Partial Differential Equations, that will help students all over the world master this important subject. This course introduces partial differential equations (PDEs) from scratch and covers the most important types and their solution methods. It covers linear and nonlinear first-order PDEs; important cases […] Continue reading at the publisher's website.

Whether you’re a student in mathematics, engineering or scientific fields, you’re likely to encounter complex analysis—the study of complex numbers and complex functions. For mathematicians, complex analysis is a beautiful subject that provides powerful connections between apparently distant areas of mathematics. For physicists, complex numbers are part of the language of nature: in order to […] Continue reading at the publisher's website.

Months of groundwork came to fruition for Wolfram Media in 2025 with two new series taking off in earnest. As we look back on the year, we wanted to take the chance to highlight what we’ve been up to over the past 12 months and let you know what’s coming next. You might even want […] Continue reading at the publisher's website.
