The functions described here are among the most commonly used continuous univariate statistical distributions. You can compute their densities, means, variances, and other ...

The general principle that Mathematica follows in evaluating expressions is to go on applying transformation rules until the expressions no longer change. This means, for ...

When you do symbolic calculations, it is quite easy to end up with extremely complicated expressions. Often, you will not even want to see the complete result of a ...

In doing numerical operations like NDSolve and NMinimize, Mathematica by default uses machine numbers. But by setting the option WorkingPrecision->n you can tell it to use ...

Converting between strings, boxes, and expressions. Here is a simple expression. This gives the InputForm of the expression as a string.

Converting power series to normal expressions. Power series in Mathematica are represented in a special internal form, which keeps track of such attributes as their expansion ...

Counting roots of polynomials. CountRoots accepts polynomials with Gaussian rational coefficients. The root count includes multiplicities. This gives the number of real roots ...

In Mathematica, dialog boxes are customized notebooks used to provide users with information and/or request user input. There are two properties associated with dialogs. ...

Palettes are like extensions of your keyboard. They can be used to perform many actions in Mathematica, including entering typesetting characters, styling notebooks, and ...
