Axis is a symbol that represents the axis for purposes of alignment and positioning.

Mesh is an option for Plot3D, DensityPlot, and other plotting functions that specifies what mesh should be drawn.

Mathematica has been used to make many important discoveries in discrete mathematics over the past two decades. Its integration of highly efficient and often original ...

A foundational idea in Mathematica is that all expressions—whatever they may represent—ultimately have a uniform tree-like structure.

LatticeData[lattice, " property"] gives the specified property for a lattice.LatticeData[n] gives a list of named lattices of dimension n.

Mathematica's symbolic character allows a powerful unification of the notion of conditionals in programming and in mathematics.

If you make a definition like f[x_]:=x Sin[x], Mathematica will store the expression x Sin[x] in a form that can be evaluated for any x. Then when you give a particular value ...

When building an initial statistical model, you may not have a good idea of what parametric distribution family it should come from. Nonparametric distributions make very few ...

In many cases, you will find it convenient to communicate with external programs at a high level, and to exchange structured data with them. On almost all computer systems, ...

You can think of an expression like f[x] as being formed by applying an operator f to the expression x. You can think of an expression like f[g[x]] as the result of composing ...
