Files and pipes are both examples of general Mathematica objects known as streams. A stream in Mathematica is a source of input or output. There are many operations that you ...

In any interactive session, Mathematica effectively operates in a loop. It waits for your input, processes the input, prints the result, then goes back to waiting for input ...

The basis for a nonlinear conjugate gradient method is to effectively apply the linear conjugate gradient method, where the residual is replaced by the gradient. A model ...

Newton's method for nonlinear equations is based on a linear approximation so the Newton step is found simply by setting M_k(p)=0, Near a root of the equations, Newton's ...

When large amounts of data are being transferred between Mathematica and a database, you may find that the operations are slow. In this case it may be advantageous to use a ...

SQLExecute allows SQL statements to be executed. Statements can be used to select data, create tables, insert data, update data, remove data, and drop tables. The statement ...

The SQL command INSERT inserts data into a database. An alternative is to use the Mathematica command SQLInsert, as described in "Inserting Data". If you find that the ...

The Database Explorer is a graphical interface to DatabaseLink. It provides a number of useful functions, such as managing connections and working with the data in a ...

Some database operations involve carrying out a sequence of database commands. For example, information in two different tables may need to be updated. In these cases it may ...

Welcome to J/Link, a product that integrates Mathematica and Java. J/Link lets you call Java from Mathematica in a completely transparent way, and it also lets you use and ...
