DisplayFunction is an option for graphics and sound functions that specifies a function to apply to graphics and sound objects before returning them.
CompiledFunction[args...] represents compiled code for evaluating a compiled function.
MathLink connections between Mathematica sessions. This starts up a link on port number 8000. This connects to the link on port 8000.
Mathematica allows you to use special notation for many common operators. For example, although internally Mathematica represents a sum of two terms as Plus[x,y], you can ...
When you generate a very large output expression in Mathematica, you often do not want to see the whole expression at once. Rather, you would first like to get an idea of the ...
The standard way in which Mathematica works is to take any expression you give as input, evaluate the expression completely, and then return the result. When you are trying ...
Functions to pick out pieces of polynomials. Here is an algebraic expression. This gives the coefficient of x in e.
One of the unique strengths of Mathematica's core language is its powerful and succinct—yet highly readable—symbolic pattern language. Convenient both for immediate use in ...
VertexRenderingFunction is an option for GraphPlot and related functions that gives a function to generate the graphics primitives to use in rendering each vertex.
ToNumberField[a, \[Theta]] expresses the algebraic number a in the number field generated by \[Theta]. ToNumberField[{a_1, a_2, ...}, \[Theta]] expresses the a_i in the field ...
