The functions described here are among the most commonly used discrete univariate statistical distributions. You can compute their densities, means, variances, and other ...

While differential equations have three basic types—ordinary (ODEs), partial (PDEs), or differential-algebraic (DAEs), they can be further described by attributes such as ...

To begin, consider an initial value problem for a linear first-order ODE. This is a linear first-order ODE. Notice that the general solution is a linear function of the ...

Mathematica's unique symbolic architecture makes it easy to add toolbars with any possible appearance and action to a Mathematica notebook. The ruler is a toolbar used to set ...

With the default option setting Lighting->Automatic, Mathematica uses a simulated lighting model to determine how to color polygons in three-dimensional graphics. Mathematica ...

Getting parts of lists. This gives a list of parts 1 and 3. Here is a nested list.

A full Mathematica installation consists of thousands of separate files, arranged in several hundred directories under the main installation directory. The location of the ...

Complicated algebraic expressions can usually be written in many different ways. Mathematica provides a variety of functions for converting expressions from one form to ...

In a statement like x^4+x^2>0, Mathematica treats the variable x as having a definite, though unspecified, value. Sometimes, however, it is useful to be able to make ...

General issues about the internal implementation of Mathematica are discussed in "The Internals of Mathematica". Given here are brief notes on particular features. These ...
