The hierarchy of levels at which options can be set. Here is a notebook containing three cells. This is what happens when the setting CellFrame->True is made specifically for ...

This constructs the sum ∑_(i=1)^7 (x^i)/(i) . You can leave out the lower limit if it is equal to 1. This makes i increase in steps of 2, so that only odd-numbered values are ...

One of the important features of Mathematica is that it can do symbolic, as well as numerical calculations. This means that it can handle algebraic formulas as well as ...

The built-in functions of Mathematica implement a very large number of algorithms from computer science and mathematics. Some of these algorithms are fairly old, but the vast ...

When you make a sequence of definitions in Mathematica, some may be more general than others. Mathematica follows the principle of trying to put more general definitions ...

Mathematica treats equations as logical statements. If you type in an equation like x^2+3x==2, Mathematica interprets this as a logical statement which asserts that x^2+3x is ...

Power series are represented in Mathematica as SeriesData objects. The power series is printed out as a sum of terms, ending with O[x] raised to a power. Internally, however, ...

"Sound" describes how you can take functions and lists of data and produce sounds from them. Here we discuss how sounds are represented in Mathematica. Mathematica treats ...

Mathematica is one of the more complex software systems ever constructed. It is built from several million lines of source code, written in C/C++, Java and Mathematica. The C ...

Mathematica does operations like numerical integration very differently from the way it does their symbolic counterparts. When you do a symbolic integral, Mathematica takes ...
