Notes

• Lists are very general objects that represent collections of expressions.
• Functions with attribute Listable are automatically "threaded" over lists, so that they act separately on each list element. Most built-in mathematical functions are Listable.
{a, b, c} represents a vector.
{{a, b}, {c, d}} represents a matrix.
• Nested lists can be used to represent tensors.
• See also: Sequence.
