JordanDecomposition (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

JordanDecomposition[m] yields the Jordan decomposition of a square matrix m. The result is a list {s, j} where s is a similarity matrix and j is the Jordan canonical form of ...

Raw Character Encodings (Mathematica Tutorial)

Mathematica always allows you to refer to special characters by using names such as ∖[Alpha] or explicit hexadecimal codes such as ∖:03b1. And when Mathematica writes out ...

Pattern Matching Functions (Mathematica Guide)

Pattern matching makes possible some of the most succinct and elegant programs in the Mathematica language—immediately compressing large numbers of conditional cases into ...

LineIntegralConvolutionPlot (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

LineIntegralConvolutionPlot[{{v_x, v_y}, image}, {x, x_min, x_max}, {y, y_min, y_max}] generates a line integral convolution plot of image convolved with the vector field ...

Introduction to Solving Nonlinear ... (Mathematica Tutorial)

There are some close connections between finding a "local minimum" and solving a set of nonlinear equations. Given a set of n equations in n unknowns, seeking a solution r(x) ...
