Even with "Newton methods" where the local model is based on the actual Hessian, unless you are close to a root or minimum, the model step may not bring you any closer to the ...

OutputForm converts the selection to Mathematica OutputForm.

DistributeDefinitions[s_1, s_2, ...] distributes all definitions for the symbols s_i to all parallel kernels.DistributeDefinitions["context"] distributes definitions for all ...

Wolfram LibraryLink provides a powerful way to connect external code to Mathematica, enabling high-speed and memory-efficient execution. It does this by allowing dynamic ...

UnsetShared[s_1, s_2, ...] stops the sharing of the variables or functions s_i among parallel kernels.UnsetShared[patt] stops the sharing of all variables and functions whose ...

Tightly integrated into Mathematica's core language is a rich set of primitives for interacting with external environments. Mathematica's symbolic architecture makes possible ...

UsingFrontEnd[expr] evaluates expr, making use of a front end if necessary.

Mathematica 7 represents another major achievement in Mathematica's long history of innovation in mathematics and algorithms. Building on the broad capabilities of ...

EndPackage[] restores $Context and $ContextPath to their values before the preceding BeginPackage, and prepends the current context to the list $ContextPath.

BeginPackage["context`"] makes context` and System` the only active contexts. BeginPackage["context`", {"need_1`", "need_2`", ...}] calls Needs on the need_i.
