LibraryFunctionInformation[fun] returns information about a LibraryFunction.

PlotRegion is an option for graphics functions that specifies what region of the final display area a plot should fill.

ZeroTest is an option to various linear algebra functions that gives a function to use in testing whether symbolic expressions should be treated as zero.

$KernelCount gives the number of subkernels available for parallel computations.

Mathematica can work with polynomials whose coefficients are in the finite field Z_p of integers modulo a prime p. Functions for manipulating polynomials over finite fields. ...

There are often many different ways to write the same algebraic expression. As one example, the expression (1+x)^2 can be written as 1+2x+x^2. Mathematica provides a large ...

There are many variants of quasi-Newton methods. In all of them, the idea is to base the matrix B_k in the quadratic model on an approximation of the Hessian matrix built up ...

Numerical algorithms for constrained nonlinear optimization can be broadly categorized into gradient-based methods and direct search methods. Gradient search methods use ...

StreamPlot[{v_x, v_y}, {x, x_min, x_max}, {y, y_min, y_max}] generates a stream plot of the vector field {v_x, v_y} as a function of x and y. StreamPlot[{{v_x, v_y}, {w_x, ...

Exit causes Mathematica to quit.
