Using Symbols to Tag Objects (Mathematica Tutorial)

There are many ways to use symbols in Mathematica. Here we use symbols as 'tags' for different types of objects. Working with physical units gives one simple example. When ...

Values for Symbols (Mathematica Tutorial)

When Mathematica transforms an expression such as x+x into 2x, it is treating the variable x in a purely symbolic or formal fashion. In such cases, x is a symbol which can ...
