Mathematica provides powerful functions for constructing lists of any size and structure.

Applying transformation rules. The replacement operator /. (pronounced "slash-dot") applies rules to expressions. You can give a list of rules to apply. Each rule will be ...

Many of the most powerful list manipulation operations in Mathematica treat whole lists as single objects. Sometimes, however, you need to pick out or set individual elements ...

Mathematica includes many powerful operations for working with lists. It is often desirable to map a function onto each individual element in a list. While listable functions ...

{e_1, e_2, ...} is a list of elements.

Mathematica 7 extends its general treatment of lists and matrices by adding a variety of convenient functions, including support for common convolution and structure matrices.

A possible way of working with permutations is by relating them to the reorderings of the elements of a list. This is the standard point of view in the combinatorial approach ...

Lists are central constructs in Mathematica that are used to represent collections, arrays, sets, and sequences of all kinds. Well over a thousand built-in functions ...

Functions for combining lists. Join concatenates any number of lists together. Union combines lists, keeping only distinct elements.

Map[f, expr] or f /@ expr applies f to each element on the first level in expr. Map[f, expr, levelspec] applies f to parts of expr specified by levelspec.
