The Mathematica compiler provides an important way both to speed up and also to work with Mathematica computations. It does this by taking assumptions about the computations ...

Recall that connections to remote kernels, as opened by LaunchKernels, are represented as kernel objects. See the chapter Connection Methods for details. The commands in this ...

This example illustrates how to take advantage of Widget["Action"] objects and easily connect and construct typical user interface elements, such as menu items, toolbars, ...

GraphPlot functionality is now available in the newly added built-in Mathematica kernel functions GraphPlot and LayeredGraphPlot. GraphPlot3D is now available as the newly ...

As of Mathematica 8, the functionality of the Wavelet Explorer add-on has been integrated into the Mathematica kernel.

Due to the complex inner workings of the Notation Package it is helpful to outline some of the more advanced features and structures of the Mathematica front end and how they ...

NSeries[f, {x, x_0, n}] gives a numerical approximation to the series expansion of f about the point x = x_0 including the terms (x - x_0) -n through (x - x_0) n.

The functions defined in the NumericalCalculus` context provide support for finding numerical solutions to calculus-related problems. This loads the package: The built-in ...

This package implements Hamilton's quaternion algebra. Quaternions have the form a+bi+cj+dk where a, b, c, and d are real numbers. The symbols i, j, and k are multiplied ...

There are many systems of units. The particular set of units that is used depends on factors as various as the field of study and the author's country of origin. The function ...
