Map[f, expr] or f /@ expr applies f to each element on the first level in expr. Map[f, expr, levelspec] applies f to parts of expr specified by levelspec.

When Mathematica reads the text x^y, it interprets it as x raised to the power y. In a notebook, you can also give the two-dimensional input x^y directly. Mathematica again ...

The following is the sequence of steps that Mathematica follows in evaluating an expression like h[e_1,e_2…]. Every time the expression changes, Mathematica effectively ...

Version 6.0 greatly extended Mathematica's powerful symbolic document paradigm, integrating support for editable symbolic graphics, structure-programmable table layouts, ...

Mathematica handles both integers and real numbers with any number of digits, automatically tagging numerical precision when appropriate. Mathematica internally uses several ...

Mathematica's descriptive statistics functions operate both on explicit data and on symbolic representations of statistical distributions. When operating on explicit data, ...

RiccatiSolve[{a, b}, {q, r}] gives the matrix x that is the stabilizing solution of the continuous algebraic Riccati equation ConjugateTranspose[a].x + x.a - ...

Mathematica normally assumes that all your variables are global. This means that every time you use a name like x, Mathematica normally assumes that you are referring to the ...

Mathematica contains some powerful primitives for making structural changes to expressions. You can use these primitives both to implement mathematical properties such as ...

Mathematica uses its symbolic architecture to provide a convenient modular framework for generating and managing messages, both in programs and interactive sessions.
