In an expression like f[{a,b,c}] you are giving a list as the argument to a function. Often you need instead to apply a function directly to the elements of a list, rather ...

 

Unless f is a flat function, a pattern like f[x_,y_] stands only for instances of the function with exactly two arguments. Sometimes you need to set up patterns that can ...

Module and With allow you to give a specific list of symbols whose names you want to treat as local. In some situations, however, you want to automatically treat certain ...

 

Bringing together Mathematica's powerful capabilities in numerics, algebraic computation and now also geometric computation, Version 6.0 took the state of the art for ...

ExpToTrig[expr] converts exponentials in expr to trigonometric functions.

 

EllipticLog[{x, y}, {a, b}] gives the generalized logarithm associated with the elliptic curve y^2 = x^3 + a x^2 + b x.
