Standard Namespaces (Mathematica Guide)

Mathematica allows arbitrary hierachical namespaces. However, several standard "contexts" are conventionally used for predefined purposes.

System & License Management (Mathematica Guide)

Mathematica has flexible capabilities for per-machine or network license management.

BinaryFormat (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

BinaryFormat is an option for OpenRead and related functions that specifies that a stream should be opened in binary format, so that no textual interpretation of newlines or ...

Catalan (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

Catalan is Catalan's constant, with numerical value \[TildeEqual] 0.915966.

Expression (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

Expression is a symbol that represents an ordinary Mathematica expression in Read and related functions.

PoissonDistribution (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

PoissonDistribution[\[Mu]] represents a Poisson distribution with mean \[Mu].

PolynomialRemainder (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

PolynomialRemainder[p, q, x] gives the remainder from dividing p by q, treated as polynomials in x.

FillingStyle (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

FillingStyle is an option for ListPlot, Plot, Plot3D, and related functions that specifies the default style of filling to be used.

NakagamiDistribution (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

NakagamiDistribution[\[Mu], \[Omega]] represents a Nakagami distribution with shape parameter \[Mu] and spread parameter \[Omega].

Optimum (Combinatorica Package Symbol)

Optimum is a value that the option Algorithm can take on when used in functions VertexColoring and VertexCover.
