Basic Plotting (Mathematica Tutorial)

Basic plotting functions. This plots a graph of sin(x) as a function of x from 0 to 2π. You can plot functions that have singularities. Mathematica will try to choose ...

Collecting Objects Together (Mathematica Tutorial)

We first encountered lists in "Making Lists of Objects" as a way of collecting numbers together. Here, we shall see many different ways to use lists. You will find that lists ...

Defining Derivatives (Mathematica Tutorial)

You can define the derivative in Mathematica of a function f of one argument simply by an assignment like f'[x_]=fp[x]. This defines the derivative of f(x) to be fp(x). In ...

Derivatives of Unknown Functions (Mathematica Tutorial)

Differentiating a known function gives an explicit result. Differentiating an unknown function f gives a result in terms of f'. Mathematica applies the chain rule for ...
