Introduction (OpenCLLink Tutorial)

OpenCLLink allows you to use the Mathematica language to query OpenCL system information and execute OpenCL programs using Mathematica. In this section, an overview is ...

Discrete Distributions (Mathematica Tutorial)

The functions described here are among the most commonly used discrete univariate statistical distributions. You can compute their densities, means, variances, and other ...

Line Search Methods (Mathematica Tutorial)

A method like "Newton's" method chooses a step, but the validity of that step only goes as far as the Newton quadratic model for the function really reflects the function. ...

Math & Counting Operations on Lists (Mathematica Guide)

Ordinary mathematical functions in Mathematica are always "listable", so that they are immediately applied in parallel across lists. Mathematica provides a wide variety of ...
