In doing numerical operations like NDSolve and NMinimize, Mathematica by default uses machine numbers. But by setting the option WorkingPrecision->n you can tell it to use ...

OrderDistribution[{dist, n}, k] represents the k\[Null]^th-order statistics distribution for n observations from the distribution dist.OrderDistribution[{dist, n}, {k_1, k_2, ...

Plots of data based on measurements often have vertical lines or intervals centered at the points to indicate the associated error estimates. Mathematica lets you add such ...

The CompilationTarget option of Compile specifies the target runtime system for the compiled function. The default setting is "MVM", which creates code for the traditional ...

FindArgMin[f, x] gives the position x_min of a local minimum of f.FindArgMin[f, {x, x_0}] gives the position x_min of a local minimum of f, found by a search starting from ...

PlotLabel is an option for graphics functions that specifies an overall label for a plot.

SplineKnots is an option for B-spline functions and graphics primitives that specifies the positions of knots.

When you make a sequence of definitions in Mathematica, some may be more general than others. Mathematica follows the principle of trying to put more general definitions ...
