To control how a 3D surface responds to simulated light, set its reflection properties. Mathematica lets you control the diffuse reflection of light on a matte surface and ...

Mathematica can handle numbers of essentially unlimited length, in any base, using state-of-the-art platform-optimized algorithms, including several developed at Wolfram ...

Outer[f, list_1, list_2, ...] gives the generalized outer product of the list_i, forming all possible combinations of the lowest-level elements in each of them, and feeding ...

The flexibility of Mathematica's symbolic architecture is reflected in its rich collection of carefully defined constructs for localization and modularization. The use of ...

PaneSelector[{v_1 -> expr_1, v_2 -> expr_2, ...}, v] represents an object that displays as a pane containing the expr_i for which v_i is equal to v.

EllipticLog[{x, y}, {a, b}] gives the generalized logarithm associated with the elliptic curve y^2 = x^3 + a x^2 + b x.

x -= dx subtracts dx from x and returns the new value of x.

SetPrecision[expr, p] yields a version of expr in which all numbers have been set to have precision p.

OpenAppend["file"] opens a file to append output to it, and returns an OutputStream object.

DiracComb[x] represents the Dirac comb function giving a delta function at every integer point. DiracComb[x_1, x_2, ...] represents the multidimensional Dirac comb function.
