VertexNormals is an option for graphics primitives which specifies the normal directions to assign to 3D vertices.

Mathematica by default interprets any sequence of letters or letter-like forms as the name of a symbol. All these are treated by Mathematica as symbols. Symbols with built-in ...

Beyond using a keyboard or mouse, you can control Mathematica with a joystick, gamepad, 3D mouse, or any device that follows the industry-standard human interface device ...

Cycles[{cyc_1, cyc_2, ...}] represents a permutation with disjoint cycles cyc_i.

Filling is an option for ListPlot, Plot, Plot3D, and related functions that specifies what filling to add under points, curves, and surfaces.

SingularValuePlot[m] gives the singular value plot of a matrix m of rational functions in one complex variable.SingularValuePlot[sys] gives the singular value plot of a ...

Slider2D[{x, y}] represents a 2D slider with settings x and y in the range 0 to 1. Slider2D[Dynamic[pt]] takes the setting to be the dynamically updated current value of pt, ...

Modules in Mathematica allow you to treat the names of variables as local. Sometimes, however, you want the names to be global, but values to be local. You can do this in ...

On most computer systems, Mathematica can produce not only graphics but also sound. Mathematica treats graphics and sound in a closely analogous way. For example, just as you ...

As discussed in "Exact and Approximate Results", Mathematica can handle approximate real numbers with any number of digits. In general, the precision of an approximate real ...
