BeginPackage["context`"] makes context` and System` the only active contexts. BeginPackage["context`", {"need_1`", "need_2`", ...}] calls Needs on the need_i.

Compile[{x_1, x_2, ...}, expr] creates a compiled function that evaluates expr assuming numerical values of the x_i. Compile[{{x_1, t_1}, ...}, expr] assumes that x_i is of a ...

EndPackage[] restores $Context and $ContextPath to their values before the preceding BeginPackage, and prepends the current context to the list $ContextPath.

Piecewise[{{val_1, cond_1}, {val_2, cond_2}, ...}] represents a piecewise function with values val_i in the regions defined by the conditions cond_i. Piecewise[{{val_1, ...

Particularly when you write procedural programs in Mathematica, you will often need to modify the value of a particular variable repeatedly. You can always do this by ...

Extension is an option for various polynomial and algebraic functions that specifies generators for the algebraic number field to be used.

Mathematica provides several convenient methods for extracting and manipulating parts of matrices. The flexible [[ ]] (Part) and ;; (Span) syntaxes provide compact yet ...
