Streams and Low-Level Input and Output (Mathematica Tutorial)

Files and pipes are both examples of general Mathematica objects known as streams. A stream in Mathematica is a source of input or output. There are many operations that you ...

String Patterns (Mathematica Tutorial)

An important feature of string manipulation functions like StringReplace is that they handle not only literal strings but also patterns for collections of strings. This ...

Transactions (DatabaseLink Tutorial)

Some database operations involve carrying out a sequence of database commands. For example, information in two different tables may need to be updated. In these cases it may ...

SmoothHistogram (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

SmoothHistogram[{x_1, x_2, ...}] plots a smooth kernel histogram of the values x_i.SmoothHistogram[{x_1, x_2, ...}, espec] plots a smooth kernel histogram with estimator ...

Introduction to Control Objects (Mathematica Tutorial)

Mathematica includes many controls and structures related to controls as part of its core language. These control objects are supported in a completely seamless way ...

Parallel Computation (Compiled Function Tools Tutorial)

The Mathematica compiler can run computations in parallel. It does this by threading a compiled function over lists of data in parallel. A first step is to create a compiled ...

Termination Conditions (Mathematica Tutorial)

Mathematically, sufficient conditions for a local minimum of a smooth function are quite straightforward: x^* is a local minimum if ∇f(x^*)=0 and the Hessian ∇^2f(x^*) is ...

Library Structure and Life Cycle (Library Link Tutorial)

Wolfram LibraryLink allows dynamic libraries to be directly loaded into the Mathematica kernel so that functions in the libraries can be immediately called from Mathematica. ...
