Mathematica allows you to use special notation for many common operators. For example, although internally Mathematica represents a sum of two terms as Plus[x,y], you can ...

One of the important features of Mathematica is that it can do symbolic, as well as numerical calculations. This means that it can handle algebraic formulas as well as ...

Mathematica treats equations as logical statements. If you type in an equation like x^2+3x==2, Mathematica interprets this as a logical statement which asserts that x^2+3x is ...
