I am continuing to make mathematics my first early morning activity.
I have three threads to my mathematics Learning:
I will treat each session as being approximately 1 hour in length.
Yesterday I created a table that indicated my progress across 4 different books. I will try to update that table each Sunday.

The title for chapter 2 in "Mathematica Demystified" is called Two-Dimensional Graphics. This is one of my main goals - to be able to obtain graphs for many of the situations that I am exploring. I have decided to stay with this book this morning.
Chapter 2 Two-Dimensional Graphics |
The options described for changing the size of the graph by dragging the mouse did not work with the version of Mathematica that I am using. I then began to bog down with some of the options for graphing a simple plot. Time for a break Total time this morning: about 1 hour. |
