If you have an equation like 2x==0, it is perfectly clear that the only possible solution is x->0. However, if you have an equation like ax==0, things are not so clear. If a ...

If you type in an expression like 0/0, Mathematica prints a message, and returns the result Indeterminate. An expression like 0/0 is an example of an indeterminate numerical ...

Mathematica provides various options for labeling three-dimensional graphics. Some of these options are directly analogous to those for two-dimensional graphics, discussed in ...

Ways to label two-dimensional plots. Here is a plot, using the default Axes->True. Setting Frame->True generates a frame with axes, and removes tick marks from the ordinary ...

You can enable logging in two ways. The log file records messages as they occur, building up a detailed record of license activity over a period of time. Logging supports ...

Whenever machine-precision numbers appear in a calculation, the whole calculation is typically done in machine precision. Mathematica will then give machine-precision numbers ...

Introduction to MathLink How MathLink Is Used Installing Existing MathLink-Compatible Programs

Matrix inversion. Here is a simple 2×2 matrix. This gives the inverse of m. In producing this formula, Mathematica implicitly assumes that the determinant ad-bc is nonzero.

Finding memory usage. Particularly for symbolic computations, memory is usually the primary resource which limits the size of computations you can do. If a computation runs ...

A differential system can sometimes be solved by analytic means. The function DSolve implements many of the known algorithmic techniques. However, differential systems that ...
