$ContextPath is a global variable that gives a list of contexts, after $Context, to search in trying to find a symbol that has been entered.

We first encountered lists in "Making Lists of Objects" as a way of collecting numbers together. Here, we shall see many different ways to use lists. You will find that lists ...

Here is an example of an exact ODE. This verifies the solution. Here is a contour plot of the solution.

Exact symbolic results are usually very desirable when they can be found. In many calculations, however, it is not possible to get symbolic results. In such cases, you must ...
