When you do calculations with arbitrary-precision numbers, Mathematica keeps track of precision at all points. In general, Mathematica tries to give you results which have ...

This tutorial introduces some basic algorithms for computing with finite permutation groups, other than those introduced in "Permutation Groups". A subgroup H of a group G ...

A Mathematica script is simply a file containing Mathematica commands that you would normally evaluate sequentially in a Mathematica session. Writing a script is useful if ...

Mathematica provides fully integrated spline graphics primitives, such as Bézier curves, B-spline curves, and B-spline surfaces. The spline primitives support a full range of ...

Function[body] or body & is a pure function. The formal parameters are # (or #1), #2, etc. Function[x, body] is a pure function with a single formal parameter x. ...

KumaraswamyDistribution[\[Alpha], \[Beta]] represents a Kumaraswamy distribution with shape parameters \[Alpha] and \[Beta].

Minors[m] gives the minors of a matrix m. Minors[m, k] gives the k\[Null]\[Null]^th minors.

MultinomialDistribution[n, {p_1, p_2, ..., p_m}] represents a multinomial distribution with n trials and probabilities p_i.

SetSharedFunction[f_1, f_2, ...] declares the symbols f_i as shared functions whose downvalues are synchronized among all parallel kernels.

A possible way of working with permutations is by relating them to the reorderings of the elements of a list. This is the standard point of view in the combinatorial approach ...
