DistributionFitTest[data] tests whether data is normally distributed. DistributionFitTest[data, dist] tests whether data is distributed according to dist. ...

Invisible characters. In the input there is an invisible comma between the 1 and 2. Here there is an invisible space between the x and y, interpreted as multiplication.

Mathematica automatically handles both numeric and symbolic matrices, seamlessly switching among large numbers of highly-optimized algorithms. Using many original methods, ...

Particularly when you write procedural programs in Mathematica, you will often need to modify the value of a particular variable repeatedly. You can always do this by ...

Just as Mathematica allows you to define how expressions should be evaluated, so also it allows you to define how expressions should be formatted for output. The basic idea ...

Lists are central constructs in Mathematica, used to represent collections, arrays, sets, and sequences of all kinds. Lists can have any structure and size, and can routinely ...

Mathematica provides a uniquely powerful interactive environment for building up arbitrarily complex computations, under convenient interactive or programmatic control.

Mathematica stands out from traditional computer languages in supporting many programming paradigms. Procedural programming is the only paradigm available in languages like C ...

Mathematica provides a general mechanism for specifying constraints on patterns. All you need to do is to put /;condition at the end of a pattern to signify that it applies ...

Orthogonal polynomials. Legendre polynomials LegendreP[n,x] arise in studies of systems with three-dimensional spherical symmetry. They satisfy the differential equation ...
