In doing calculations, it is often convenient to collect together several objects, and treat them as a single entity. Lists give you a way to make collections of objects in ...

Functions for creating power series. Here is the power series expansion for exp(x) about the point x0 to order x^4. Here is the series expansion of exp(x) about the point ...

You can use lists as tables of values. You can generate the tables, for example, by evaluating an expression for a sequence of different parameter values. This gives a table ...

Many of the most powerful list manipulation operations in Mathematica treat whole lists as single objects. Sometimes, however, you need to pick out or set individual elements ...

Mathematica expressions provide a very general way to handle all kinds of data, and you may sometimes want to use such expressions inside your external programs. A language ...

You can use most of the list operations discussed in "Lists" on any kind of Mathematica expression. By using these operations, you can manipulate the structure of expressions ...

Functions for manipulating files. Different operating systems have different commands for manipulating files. Mathematica provides a simple set of file manipulation ...

When Mathematica cannot give you an explicit result for an integral, it leaves the integral in a symbolic form. It is often useful to manipulate this symbolic form. ...
