Mathematica includes all the common special functions of mathematical physics found in standard handbooks. Each of the various classes of functions is discussed in turn. One ...

Mathematica allows you to use special notation for many common operators. For example, although internally Mathematica represents a sum of two terms as Plus[x,y], you can ...

You can tell a lot about what "type" of expression something is by looking at its head. Thus, for example, an integer has head Integer, while a list has head List. In a ...

Spheroidal functions. The radial spheroidal functions SpheroidalS1[n,m, γ,z] and SpheroidalS2[n,m,γ,z] and angular spheroidal functions SpheroidalPS[n,m,γ,z] and ...

If you want to make use of Mathematica output in an external file such as a program or document, you will often find it useful to "splice" the output automatically into the ...

When fitting models to data, it is often useful to analyze how well the model fits the data and how well the fitting meets the assumptions of the model. For a number of ...

Palettes can be configured to remember their previous states across front end sessions. This is useful for palettes containing multiple expandable sections, tab views, ...

Files and pipes are both examples of general Mathematica objects known as streams. A stream in Mathematica is a source of input or output. There are many operations that you ...

Text strings. The quotes are not included in standard Mathematica output form. In input form, the quotes are included.

An important feature of string manipulation functions like StringReplace is that they handle not only literal strings but also patterns for collections of strings. This ...
