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. ...

Initialization Cell makes a cell auto-evaluate whenever the notebook is opened and the kernel is launched.

Initialization Group makes the cells in a group auto-evaluate whenever the notebook is opened and the kernel is launched.

CellAutoOverwrite is an option for Cell which specifies whether an output cell should be overwritten by new output when the preceding input cell is evaluated.

PrintAction is an option for notebooks that specifies the action taken when a Print[] command is evaluated by the kernel.

Unicode: 221A. Alias: Esc sqrt Esc. Prefix operator with built-in evaluation rules. √ x is by default interpreted as Sqrt[x]. Ctrl+@, Ctrl+2 or ∖@ yields a complete SqrtBox ...

InitializationCellWarning is an option for notebooks that specifies whether a warning should be given when a notebook containing initialization cells is opened.

Trace[expr] generates a list of all expressions used in the evaluation of expr. Trace[expr, form] includes only those expressions which match form. Trace[expr, s] includes ...

Fundamental to Mathematica's dynamic interactivity capabilities is a new form of symbolic dynamic language. With a very small number of highly powerful primitives that mix ...

At the core of Mathematica is its highly developed symbolic language, which unifies a broad range of programming paradigms and uses its unique concept of symbolic programming ...
