When you set up a graphics object in Mathematica, you give coordinates for the various graphical elements that appear. When Mathematica renders the graphics object, it has to ...

When Mathematica plots a graph for you, it has to make many choices. It has to work out what the scales should be, where the function should be sampled, how the axes should ...

Customization is an important part of Mathematica 's extensive data visualization capabilities. While the default settings for displaying points in a plot are suitable in ...

Mathematica works with both exact quantities and approximate numbers. Using N , you can obtain a numerical approximation to an exact quantity with any desired precision or ...

Listable is an attribute that can be assigned to a symbol f to indicate that the function f should automatically be threaded over lists that appear as its arguments.

Descriptive statistics refers to properties of distributions, such as location, dispersion, and shape. The functions described here compute descriptive statistics of lists of ...

The Mathematica function DSolve finds symbolic solutions to differential equations. (The Mathematica function NDSolve, on the other hand, is a general numerical differential ...

Patterns are used throughout Mathematica to represent classes of expressions. A simple example of a pattern is the expression f[x_]. This pattern represents the class of ...

With the default option setting Lighting->Automatic, Mathematica uses a simulated lighting model to determine how to color polygons in three-dimensional graphics. Mathematica ...

NDSolve uses norms of error estimates to determine when solutions satisfy error tolerances. In nearly all cases the norm has been weighted, or scaled, such that it is less ...
