Algebraic Numbers (Mathematica Tutorial)

The representation of algebraic numbers. When you enter a Root object, the polynomial that appears in it is automatically reduced to a minimal form. This extracts the pure ...

Applying Functions Repeatedly (Mathematica Tutorial)

Many programs you write will involve operations that need to be iterated several times. Nest and NestList are powerful constructs for doing this. Applying functions of one ...
