Mathematica is built to handle arbitrarily large computations—limited only by computer time and memory—and provides a collection of convenient global safety features to ...

Mathematica normally makes as few assumptions as possible about the objects you ask it to manipulate. This means that the results it gives are as general as possible. But ...

Finding the date and time. This gives the current date and time. The Mathematica DateList function returns whatever your computer system gives as the current date and time. ...

Mathematica provides a uniquely powerful interactive environment for building up arbitrarily complex computations, under convenient interactive or programmatic control.

Mathematica's symbolic timing framework allows timing information not only to be analyzed but also to be used in the structure of algorithms. Mathematica provides functions ...

Mathematica makes it easy to "bulletproof" packages, and prevent features of their environment from affecting their internal operation.

int MLEvaluateString (MLINK link, char *string) sends a string to Mathematica for evaluation, and discards any packets sent in response.

Evaluatable is an option for Cell that specifies whether a cell should be used as input to be evaluated by the Mathematica kernel.

HoldPattern[expr] is equivalent to expr for pattern matching, but maintains expr in an unevaluated form.

CellProlog is an option to Cell that gives an expression to evaluate before each ordinary evaluation of the contents of the cell.
