SetSharedFunction (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

SetSharedFunction[f_1, f_2, ...] declares the symbols f_i as shared functions whose downvalues are synchronized among all parallel kernels.

Shallow (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

Shallow[expr] prints as a shallow form of expr. Shallow[expr, depth] prints with all parts of expr below the specified depth given in skeleton form. Shallow[expr, {depth, ...

Splice (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

Splice["file"] splices Mathematica output into an external file. It takes text enclosed between < * and * > in the file, evaluates the text as Mathematica input, and replaces ...

SystemDialogInput (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

SystemDialogInput["type"] brings up an interactive system dialog and returns the value chosen in the dialog. SystemDialogInput["type", init] uses init as the initial setting ...

$DistributedContexts (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

$DistributedContexts is the default value of the DistributedContexts option of functions such as ParallelTable and ParallelMap.

$MachinePrecision (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

$MachinePrecision gives the number of decimal digits of precision used for machine-precision numbers.

$MessageGroups (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

$MessageGroups is the list of rules that gives named message groups used in functions like On and Quiet.

Defining Numerical Values (Mathematica Tutorial)

If you make a definition such as f[x_]:=value, Mathematica will use the value you give for any f function it encounters. In some cases, however, you may want to define a ...

Generating Unstructured Output (Mathematica Tutorial)

The functions described in "Textual Input and Output Overview" determine how expressions should be formatted when they are printed, but they do not actually cause anything to ...

Plotting Lists of Data (Mathematica Tutorial)

Mathematica can be used to make plots of functions. You give Mathematica a function, and it builds up a curve or surface by evaluating the function at many different points. ...
