Searching for local minima and maxima. This finds the value of x which minimizes Γ(x), starting at x2. The last element of the list gives the value at which the minimum is ...

As discussed in "Exact and Approximate Results", Mathematica can handle approximate real numbers with any number of digits. In general, the precision of an approximate real ...

NSolve gives you a general way to find numerical approximations to the solutions of polynomial equations. Finding numerical solutions to more general equations, however, can ...

The function NDSolve discussed in "Numerical Differential Equations" allows you to find numerical solutions to differential equations. NDSolve handles both single ...

When Solve cannot find solutions in terms of radicals to polynomial equations, it returns a symbolic form of the result in terms of Root objects. You can get numerical ...

Testing for numeric quantities. Pi is a symbol, so Pi+3 is not explicitly a number. It does however have a numerical value.

Mathematica allows you to perform many operations on power series. In all cases, Mathematica gives results only to as many terms as can be justified from the accuracy of your ...

Most mathematical functions in Mathematica are set up to apply themselves separately to each element in a list. This is true in particular of all functions that carry the ...
