Mathematica by default interprets any sequence of letters or letter-like forms as the name of a symbol. All these are treated by Mathematica as symbols. Symbols with built-in ...

The MathLink library contains an extensive collection of C functions that allow arbitrary data and structure to be exchanged with Mathematica, and provide detailed control of ...

Mathematica has been used to make many important discoveries in discrete mathematics over the past two decades. Its integration of highly efficient and often original ...

When you define a complicated function, you will often want to let some of the arguments of the function be "optional". If you do not give those arguments explicitly, you ...

Unicode: F525. x  y is by default interpreted as ShortRightArrow[x,y]. Infix arrow operator. Not the same as \[Rule]. Extensible character.

Directly integrated into the Mathematica language is a convenient symbolic options mechanism that allows arbitrary sequences of named parameters to be given to both built-in ...

% n or Out[n] is a global object that is assigned to be the value produced on the n\[Null]^th output line. % gives the last result generated. %% gives the result before last. ...

Mathematica has special sparse-array technology for efficiently handling arrays with literally astronomical numbers of elements when only a small fraction of the elements are ...

One of the unique strengths of Mathematica's core language is its powerful and succinct—yet highly readable—symbolic pattern language. Convenient both for immediate use in ...

Mathematica 6.0 represented a major new level in Mathematica's distinguished twenty-year history of broad cutting-edge algorithm development. Mathematica's unified ...
