The precedence of any new notation or operator is determined by examining the components from which it is constructed. For instance, +_ ℛ is grouped according to the ...

BernoulliB[n] gives the Bernoulli number B_n. BernoulliB[n, x] gives the Bernoulli polynomial B_n (x).

Binomial[n, m] gives the binomial coefficient ( { {n}, {m} } ).

Gamma[z] is the Euler gamma function \[CapitalGamma](z). Gamma[a, z] is the incomplete gamma function \[CapitalGamma](a, z). Gamma[a, z_0, z_1] is the generalized incomplete ...

LinearProgramming[c, m, b] finds a vector x that minimizes the quantity c.x subject to the constraints m.x >= b and x >= 0. LinearProgramming[c, m, {{b_1, s_1}, {b_2, s_2}, ...

WaringYuleDistribution[\[Alpha]] represents the Yule distribution with shape parameter \[Alpha].WaringYuleDistribution[\[Alpha], \[Beta]] represents the Waring distribution ...

Just as the equation x^2+3x==2 asserts that x^2+3x is equal to 2, so also the inequality x^2+3x>2 asserts that x^2+3x is greater than 2. In Mathematica, Reduce works not only ...

The names of built-in functions follow some general guidelines. The main expression or object on which a built-in function acts is usually given as the first argument to the ...

In any interactive session, Mathematica effectively operates in a loop. It waits for your input, processes the input, prints the result, then goes back to waiting for input ...

When large amounts of data are being transferred between Mathematica and a database, you may find that the operations are slow. In this case it may be advantageous to use a ...
