One rich and memorable example can be a more effective tool for learning, or teaching, a body of concepts and techniques than a multitude of separate little examples. Hero's method — a simple iterative algorithm for estimating square roots — serves as an exemplary topic for introducing principles of Mathematica in general, and of programming in Mathematica in particular. Among the ideas introduced are: Mathematica's symbolic, numeric, and graphical aspects; function definition; list manipulation; functional, procedural, and recursive programming paradigms; and graphical programming.
