UniformSumDistribution[n] represents the distribution of a sum of n random variables uniformly distributed from 0 to 1.UniformSumDistribution[n, {min, max}] represents the ...

A method like "Newton's" method chooses a step, but the validity of that step only goes as far as the Newton quadratic model for the function really reflects the function. ...

Mathematica normally makes as few assumptions as possible about the objects you ask it to manipulate. This means that the results it gives are as general as possible. But ...

PolynomialQ[expr, var] yields True if expr is a polynomial in var, and yields False otherwise. PolynomialQ[expr, {var_1, ...}] tests whether expr is a polynomial in the var_i.

The following is the sequence of steps that Mathematica follows in evaluating an expression like h[e_1,e_2…]. Every time the expression changes, Mathematica effectively ...

Eigenvalues[m] gives a list of the eigenvalues of the square matrix m. Eigenvalues[{m, a}] gives the generalized eigenvalues of m with respect to a. Eigenvalues[m, k] gives ...

MatrixPower[m, n] gives the n\[Null]\[Null]^th matrix power of the matrix m. MatrixPower[m, n, v] gives the n\[Null]^th matrix power of the matrix m applied to the vector v.

 

InterpolatingFunction[domain, table] represents an approximate function whose values are found by interpolation.

To run Mathematica from within an external program requires making use of many general features of MathLink. The first issue is how to establish a MathLink connection to ...
