DateFunction is an option for DateListPlot that specifies how dates given as input should be converted to date lists.

As the basis for many other special functions, Mathematica supports efficient arbitrary-precision evaluation of gamma functions, as well as an extensive web of relations and ...

 

Mathematica can efficiently handle both univariate and multivariate rational functions, with built-in functions immediately implementing standard algebraic transformations.

Combinatorial functions. The factorial function n! gives the number of ways of ordering n objects. For non-integer n, the numerical value of n! is obtained from the gamma ...

The Mathematica compiler generates a CompiledFunction expression that contains a sequence of simple instructions for evaluating a Mathematica computation. The compiled ...

Mathematica provides several convenient ways to find information about functions. In addition to searching the documentation or navigating the guide pages, you can access ...

Throughout Mathematica there is support not only for approximate real numbers, but also for exact numbers represented in algebraic or symbolic form. Functions like Floor, ...

Some common operations on special functions. Most special functions have simpler forms when given certain specific arguments. Mathematica will automatically simplify special ...
