In doing numerical operations like NDSolve and NMinimize, Mathematica by default uses machine numbers. But by setting the option WorkingPrecision->n you can tell it to use ...

Manipulate[expr, {u, u_min, u_max}] generates a version of expr with controls added to allow interactive manipulation of the value of u. Manipulate[expr, {u, u_min, u_max, ...

CurrentValue[item] gives the current value of item at a location in the Mathematica system and interface. CurrentValue[{item, spec}] gives the current value for the feature ...

Mathematica allows you to control how the pages in notebooks are laid out for printing. You can give a general specification in a stylesheet, or you can specify details for ...

When you do symbolic calculations, it is quite easy to end up with extremely complicated expressions. Often, you will not even want to see the complete result of a ...

Mathematica's unique structure allows a generalized notion of input, in which not only ordinary text, but also typeset structures, diagrams, graphics, control objects and ...

Manipulate is an extremely powerful function that immediately creates complete dynamic interfaces, automatically optimized for usability and appearance. For specific ...

Mathematica 6 introduced the revolutionary idea of symbolic dynamic interactivity. Mathematica 7 makes use of this idea throughout the system, and adds a number of additional ...

Mathematica's symbolic representation of both graphics and controls makes it particularly easy to create click-interactive panels in which the user clicks or drags elements ...

TransferFunctionPoles[tf] gives a matrix of roots of the denominators in the TransferFunctionModel object tf.
