Text and Font Options (Mathematica Tutorial)

General options for text formatting. If you have a large block of text containing no explicit newline characters, then Mathematica will automatically break your text into a ...

The Secant Method (Mathematica Tutorial)

When derivatives cannot be computed symbolically, "Newton's" method will be used, but with a finite difference approximation to the Jacobian. This can have costs in terms of ...

Symbolic Evaluation (Mathematica Tutorial)

The functions FindMinimum, FindMaximum, and FindRoot have the HoldAll attribute and so have special semantics for evaluation of their arguments. First, the variables are ...

GraphData (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

GraphData[name] gives a graph with the specified name.GraphData[name, " property"] gives the value for the specified property for a named graph.GraphData["class"] gives a ...

GeometricDistribution (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

GeometricDistribution[p] represents a geometric distribution with probability parameter p.

InverseWaveletTransform (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

InverseWaveletTransform[dwd] gives the inverse wavelet transform of a DiscreteWaveletData object dwd.InverseWaveletTransform[dwd, wave] gives the inverse transform using the ...

LayeredGraphPlot (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

LayeredGraphPlot[{v i 1 -> v j 1, v i 2 -> v j 2, ...}] generates a layered plot of the graph in which vertex v_ik is connected to vertex v_jk.LayeredGraphPlot[{{v i 1 -> v j ...

Partition (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

Partition[list, n] partitions list into non-overlapping sublists of length n. Partition[list, n, d] generates sublists with offset d. Partition[list, {n_1, n_2, ...}] ...
