Mathematica allows you to specify in detail what should happen when you press Shift+Enter to evaluate a cell in a notebook, or Ctrl+Shift+Enter to evaluate an expression in ...

While most built-in Mathematica functions follow the standard evaluation procedure, some important ones do not. For example, most of the Mathematica functions associated with ...

Here the standard procedure used by Mathematica to evaluate expressions is described. This procedure is the one followed for most kinds of expression. There are, however, ...

Throughout any computation, Mathematica maintains an evaluation stack containing the expressions it is currently evaluating. You can use the function Stack to look at the ...

There are a number of important interactions in Mathematica between evaluation and pattern matching. The first observation is that pattern matching is usually done on ...

In two decades of intense algorithmic development, Mathematica has established a new level of numerical computation. Particularly notable are its many original highly ...

Mathematica allows any front end command to be executed programmatically from within the kernel by sending an appropriate front end token. There are tokens for all standard ...

Abort Evaluation aborts the current evaluation.

Interrupt Evaluation interrupts the current operation being performed by the kernel.

EvaluationNotebook[] gives the notebook in which this function is being evaluated.
