$IterationLimit gives the maximum length of evaluation chain used in trying to evaluate any expression.
$MaxExtraPrecision gives the maximum number of extra digits of precision to be used in functions such as N.
In many computations you are concerned only with the final result of evaluating the expression given as input. But sometimes you also want to collect expressions that were ...
Functions for constructing matrices. This generates a 2×2 matrix whose i,j^th entry is a[i,j]. Here is another way to produce the same matrix.
The systems of equations that govern certain phenomena (in electrical circuits, chemical kinetics, etc.) contain a combination of differential equations and algebraic ...
Following are two examples of nonlinear systems of ODEs that can be solved symbolically using DSolve. The first three equations in this system of four nonlinear ODEs can be ...
Elementary transcendental functions. Mathematica gives exact results for logarithms whenever it can. Here is log_21024. You can find the numerical values of mathematical ...
