The control mechanisms set up for NDSolve enable you to define your own numerical integration algorithms and use them as specifications for the Method option of NDSolve. ...

Numerical algorithms for constrained nonlinear optimization can be broadly categorized into gradient-based methods and direct search methods. Gradient search methods use ...

NResidue[expr, {z, z_0}] numerically finds the residue of expr near the point z = z_0.

ParallelTable[expr, {i_max}] generates in parallel a list of i_max copies of expr.ParallelTable[expr, {i, i_max}] generates in parallel a list of the values of expr when i ...

EvaluationMonitor is an option for various numerical computation and plotting functions that gives an expression to evaluate whenever functions derived from the input are ...

Just as normal and stable distributions are natural limit distributions when considering linear combinations such as means of independent variables, extreme value ...

The fundamental type of distribution in reliability analysis is a lifetime distribution. This models the lifetime of a component or a system. Many lifetime distributions are ...

There are a variety of ways to describe probability distributions such as probability density or mass, cumulative versions of density and mass, inverses of the cumulative ...

A method like "Newton's" method chooses a step, but the validity of that step only goes as far as the Newton quadratic model for the function really reflects the function. ...

As of Mathematica 8, the functionality of the Wavelet Explorer add-on has been integrated into the Mathematica kernel.
