NMinimize, NMaximize, Minimize, and Maximize employ global optimization algorithms, and are thus suitable when a global optimum is needed. Minimize and Maximize can find ...
Unicode: F4A1 Alias: Esc fn Esc. Infix operator with built-in evaluation rules. x y is by default interpreted as Function[x,y]. x y z groups as x (y z). \[Function] ...
"Manipulating Elements of Lists" shows how you can pick out elements of lists based on their positions. Often, however, you will need to select elements based not on where ...
Functions that are specified by simple algebraic formulas tend to be such that when their input is changed only slightly, their output also changes only slightly. But ...
GeneratingFunction[expr, n, x] gives the generating function in x for the sequence whose n\[Null]^th series coefficient is given by the expression ...
StreamColorFunctionScaling is an option for graphics functions that specifies whether arguments supplied to a stream color function should be scaled to lie between 0 and 1.
VectorColorFunctionScaling is an option for graphics functions which specifies whether arguments supplied to a vector color function should be scaled to lie between 0 and 1.
The MathLink library contains an extensive collection of C functions that allow arbitrary data and structure to be exchanged with Mathematica, and provide detailed control of ...
SpheroidalQSPrime[n, m, \[Gamma], z] gives the derivative with respect to z of the angular spheroidal function QS n, m (\[Gamma], z) of the second kind.
FindGeneratingFunction[{a_1, a_2, ...}, x] attempts to find a simple generating function in x whose n\[Null]^th series coefficient is a_n.FindGeneratingFunction[{{n_1, a_1}, ...
