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 includes a variety of non-printing characters, some used to fine-tune layout, and others used to define precise syntactic interpretations while maintaining the ...

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 has over a thousand options that allow full control over every aspect of its interface. These options can be set interactively from menus, defined in stylesheets, ...

Mathematica can efficiently exchange data in all standard numerical formats—allowing convenient symbolic specification of data subsets and data elements.

Directly integrated into the Mathematica language is a convenient symbolic options mechanism that allows arbitrary sequences of named parameters to be given to both built-in ...

Mathematica makes it easy to "bulletproof" packages, and prevent features of their environment from affecting their internal operation.

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 ...

Mathematica automatically sets up the infrastructure for parallel computing on standard systems, and provides a variety of tools for sharing and synchronizing definitions ...

Pattern matching makes possible some of the most succinct and elegant programs in the Mathematica language—immediately compressing large numbers of conditional cases into ...
