RayleighDistribution[\[Sigma]] represents the Rayleigh distribution with scale parameter \[Sigma].

SeedRandom[n] resets the pseudorandom generator, using n as a seed. SeedRandom[] resets the generator, using as a seed the time of day and certain attributes of the current ...

The general solution to a differential equation contains undetermined coefficients that are labeled C[1], C[2], and so on. This example has one undetermined parameter, C[1]. ...

There are four major areas in the study of ordinary differential equations that are of interest in pure and applied science. Of these four areas, the study of exact solutions ...

In many practical situations it is convenient to consider limits in which a fixed amount of something is concentrated into an infinitesimal region. Ordinary mathematical ...

Important points to remember in Mathematica. If you have used other computer systems before, you will probably notice some similarities and some differences. Often you will ...

Introduction ODE Integration Methods Partial Differential Equations

The built-in functions of Mathematica implement a very large number of algorithms from computer science and mathematics. Some of these algorithms are fairly old, but the vast ...

"Sound" describes how you can take functions and lists of data and produce sounds from them. Here we discuss how sounds are represented in Mathematica. Mathematica treats ...

When you install a MathLink-compatible external program using Install, the program is set up to behave somewhat like a simplified Mathematica kernel. Every time you call a ...
