When you enter a piece of input such as 2+2, Mathematica first recognizes the + as an operator and constructs the expression Plus[2,2], then uses the built-in rules for Plus ...

Building on Mathematica's extensive data manipulation capabilities, Mathematica 8 adds a wide range of new import and export features, advanced image processing algorithms, ...

Mathematica supports using joysticks, gamepads, 3D mice, and all other controller devices that follow the HID specification. In fact, in many cases, there is zero setup ...

In addition to its graphical results, Wolfram|Alpha can provide alternative representations that contain additional information or are well suited to particular tasks. These ...

SyntaxLength["string"] finds the number of characters starting at the beginning of a string that correspond to syntactically correct input for a single Mathematica expression.

When Mathematica cannot give you an explicit result for an integral, it leaves the integral in a symbolic form. It is often useful to manipulate this symbolic form. ...
