Mathematica 8 provides functions that allow developers to implement file format converters to be integrated with the Mathematica Import and Export framework. You can ...

Built on powerful and elegant principles, the core Mathematica language has emerged over the past 20 years as perhaps the world's richest and deepest programming language. ...

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 8 adds a number of new areas for visualization, including statistical, financial, wavelet, and control-related visualizations. These areas all provide a high ...

VectorQ[expr] gives True if expr is a list or a one-dimensional SparseArray object, none of whose elements are themselves lists, and gives False otherwise. VectorQ[expr, ...

Mathematica includes functions for performing a variety of specific algebraic transformations. Some are algorithmically straightforward; others include highly sophisticated ...

An expression like x^2+2x-7==0 represents an equation in Mathematica. You will often need to solve equations like this, to find out for what values of x they are true. This ...

Packing a large number of sophisticated algorithms—many recent and original—into a powerful collection of functions, Mathematica draws on almost every major result in number ...

NestList[f, expr, n] gives a list of the results of applying f to expr 0 through n times.

FileExistsQ["name"] gives True if the file with the specified name exists, and gives False otherwise.
