Mathematica encapsulates in a small number of functions vast flexibility in rearranging lists with any structure and any number of elements.

Ways to construct nested lists. This generates a table corresponding to a 2×3 nested list. This generates an array corresponding to the same nested list.

Two decades of intense R&D at Wolfram Research have given Mathematica by far the world's broadest and deepest coverage of special functions—and greatly expanded the whole ...

Functions for rearranging lists. This sorts the elements of a list into a standard order. In simple cases like this, the order is alphabetical or numerical. This sorts the ...

RecordLists is an option for ReadList that specifies whether objects from separate records should be returned in separate sublists.

In doing calculations, it is often convenient to collect together several objects, and treat them as a single entity. Lists give you a way to make collections of objects in ...

With careful attention to branch cuts, Mathematica supports trigonometric functions everywhere in the complex plane, with extensive exact and algebraic transformations, ...

Mathematica provides a carefully chosen set of functions for accessing elements of lists either using indices or positions, or using patterns or criteria for their values.

Using original algorithms developed at Wolfram Research, Mathematica has full coverage of all standard Bessel-related functions—evaluating every function to arbitrary ...

The MathLink library contains an extensive collection of C functions that allow arbitrary data and structure to be exchanged with Mathematica, and provide detailed control of ...
