Numerical Calculus Package (Numerical Calculus Package Guide)

The built-in functions D, Limit, Residue and Series perform computations using symbolic and analytic methods. The functions ND, NLimit, NResidue and NSeries, in this package, ...

\[DownArrow] (Mathematica Character Name)

Unicode: 2193. Infix arrow operator. x ↓ y is by default interpreted as DownArrow[x,y]. Used to indicate monotonic decrease to a limit. Sometimes used for logical nor. ...

Infinity (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

Infinity or \[Infinity] is a symbol that represents a positive infinite quantity.

NLimit (Numerical Calculus Package Symbol)

NLimit[expr, z -> z_0] numerically finds the limiting value of expr as z approaches z_0.

Abort (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

Abort[] generates an interrupt to abort a computation.

Heavy Tail Distributions (Mathematica Guide)

Heavy tail means that there is a larger probability of getting very large values. So heavy tail distributions typically represent wild as opposed to mild randomness. An ...

DiscreteShift (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

DiscreteShift[f, i] gives the discrete shift DiscreteShift[f(i), i] == f(i + 1). DiscreteShift[f, {i, n}] gives the multiple shift \[DiscreteShift]_i^n\ f.DiscreteShift[f, ...

CharacteristicFunction (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

CharacteristicFunction[dist, t] gives the characteristic function for the symbolic distribution dist as a function of the variable t.CharacteristicFunction[dist, {t_1, t_2, ...

\[UpArrow] (Mathematica Character Name)

Unicode: 2191. Infix arrow operator. x ↑ y is by default interpreted as UpArrow[x,y]. Sometimes used in mathematics to denote generalization of powers. Used to indicate ...

OverscriptBoxOptions (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

OverscriptBoxOptions -> {opt_1 -> val_1, opt_2 -> val_2, ...} is an option that specifies the style and display of OverscriptBox constructs.
