Mathematica's symbolic architecture and sophisticated mathematical capabilities allow it to take a uniquely high-level approach to geometric transformations—supporting ...

FixedPointList[f, expr] generates a list giving the results of applying f repeatedly, starting with expr, until the results no longer change.

This example demonstrates various techniques for designing a progress bar dialog and a number of options available to wrap the reusable widget involved. Here is one technique ...

Mathematica has fully integrated support for many of the tools used in classical and modern finance. These capabilities include financial instrument valuation, advanced time ...

DayOfWeek[{year, month, day}] gives the day of the week on which the given date {year, month, day} occurred.DayOfWeek[{year, month, day, hour, minute, second}] gives the day ...

Important for elliptical shapes and periodic potentials, Mathematica achieves a new level of implementation for Mathieu-related functions, supporting arbitrary-precision ...

Converting to and from character codes. Mathematica assigns every character that can appear in a string a unique character code. This code is used internally as a way to ...

Mathematica normally assumes that variables which appear in equations can stand for arbitrary complex numbers. But when you use Reduce, you can explicitly tell Mathematica ...

Extrapolation methods are a class of arbitrary-order methods with automatic order and step-size control. The error estimate comes from computing a solution over an interval ...
