DistributeDefinitions[s_1, s_2, ...] distributes all definitions for the symbols s_i to all parallel kernels.DistributeDefinitions["context"] distributes definitions for all ...

The mathematical operations we have discussed so far are exact. Given precise input, their results are exact formulas. In many situations, however, you do not need an exact ...

This constructs the sum ∑_(i=1)^7 (x^i)/(i) . You can leave out the lower limit if it is equal to 1. This makes i increase in steps of 2, so that only odd-numbered values are ...

RectangleChart[{{x_1, y_1}, {x_2, y_2}, ...}] makes a rectangle chart with bars of width x_i and height y_i. RectangleChart[{..., w_i[{x_i, y_i}, ...], ..., w_j[{x_i, y_j}, ...

Important points to remember in Mathematica. If you have used other computer systems before, you will probably notice some similarities and some differences. Often you will ...

Evaluating integrals is much more difficult than evaluating derivatives. For derivatives, there is a systematic procedure based on the chain rule that effectively allows any ...

Power series are in many ways the algebraic analog of limited-precision numbers. Mathematica can generate series approximations to virtually any combination of built-in ...

All is a setting used for certain options. In Part and related functions, All specifies all parts at a particular level.

Mathematica provides various options for labeling three-dimensional graphics. Some of these options are directly analogous to those for two-dimensional graphics, discussed in ...

Factoring a quadratic polynomial in one variable is straightforward. But Mathematica routinely factors degree-100 polynomials in 3 variables—by making use of a tower of ...
