Incompatible Changes since Mathematica ... (Mathematica Tutorial)

Every new version of Mathematica contains many new features. But careful design from the outset has allowed nearly total compatibility to be maintained between all versions. ...

FindFit (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

FindFit[data, expr, pars, vars] finds numerical values of the parameters pars that make expr give a best fit to data as a function of vars. The data can have the form {{x_1, ...

FindInstance (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

FindInstance[expr, vars] finds an instance of vars that makes the statement expr be True. FindInstance[expr, vars, dom] finds an instance over the domain dom. Common choices ...

Math & Counting Operations on Lists (Mathematica Guide)

Ordinary mathematical functions in Mathematica are always "listable", so that they are immediately applied in parallel across lists. Mathematica provides a wide variety of ...

Numerical Evaluation & Precision (Mathematica Guide)

In two decades of intense algorithmic development, Mathematica has established a new level of numerical computation. Particularly notable are its many original highly ...

Numerical Functions (Mathematica Guide)

Throughout Mathematica there is support not only for approximate real numbers, but also for exact numbers represented in algebraic or symbolic form. Functions like Floor, ...
