The central limit theorem asserts that means of independent, identically distributed variables will converge to a normal distribution provided they are light tailed enough. ...

Mathematica provides many mechanisms for interfacing with the web —from exporting graphics and structured active documents to interacting with web services, importing web ...

GapPenalty is an option for SequenceAlignment and related functions that gives the additional cost associated with each gap corresponding to a run of insertions or deletions.

GenerateConditions is an option for Integrate, Sum, and similar functions that specifies whether explicit conditions on parameters should be generated in the result.

NumberPadding is an option for NumberForm and related functions which gives strings to use as padding on the left- and right-hand sides of numbers.

SaveDefinitions is an option to Manipulate and related functions that specifies whether current definitions relevant for the evaluation of the expression being manipulated ...

Mathematica usually works by taking whatever input you give, and then processing it. Sometimes, however, you may want to have a program you write explicitly request more ...

One of the key problems in graphs is navigation. In particular, the problem is finding the shortest path between two vertices, whether that is finding the way out of a maze ...

InterpolationOrder is an option for Interpolation, as well as ListLinePlot, ListPlot3D, ListContourPlot, and related functions, that specifies what order of interpolation to ...

On most computer systems, Mathematica can produce not only graphics but also sound. Mathematica treats graphics and sound in a closely analogous way. For example, just as you ...
