It's a shame the title begins with 'Mathematica', makes one think the book is about the Wolfram software. That's the first thing I thought of when I saw the title. Hopefully Wolfram doesn't sue him for copyright violation or some such infringement.

I guess I assumed it was a reference to Alfred Whitehead's and Bertrand Russell's book Principia Mathematica, which predates Wolfram himself by several decades.
