Constructing matrices with special shapes. This creates a matrix of 0s containing a radius 4 diamond of 1s. The result is a 9×9 matrix. The size of the matrix can be ...

lhs = rhs evaluates rhs and assigns the result to be the value of lhs. From then on, lhs is replaced by rhs whenever it appears. {l_1, l_2, ...} = {r_1, r_2, ...} evaluates ...

TransformationFunction[data] represents a transformation function that applies geometric and other transformations.

StirlingS2[n, m] gives the Stirling number of the second kind \[ScriptCapitalS]_n^(m).

ChebyshevU[n, x] gives the Chebyshev polynomial of the second kind U_n (x).

Method is an option for various algorithm-intensive functions that specifies what internal methods they should use.

NumericFunction is an attribute that can be assigned to a symbol f to indicate that f[arg_1, arg_2, ...] should be considered a numeric quantity whenever all the arg_i are ...

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 ...

Functions in Mathematica are carefully set up so that you normally do not have to know how they work inside. But particularly for numerical functions that use iterative ...

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 ...
