Here the standard procedure used by Mathematica to evaluate expressions is described. This procedure is the one followed for most kinds of expression. There are, however, ...

Directly integrated into Mathematica's uniform architecture for handling lists of data is an array of highly optimized algorithms for transforming and smoothing datasets that ...

One of the most important features of Mathematica is that it is an extensible system. There is a certain amount of mathematical and other functionality that is built into ...

Mathematica 7 extends its general treatment of lists and matrices by adding a variety of convenient functions, including support for common convolution and structure matrices.

You can ask for information about any object, whether it is built into Mathematica, has been read in from a Mathematica package, or has been introduced by you. Ways to get ...

Definitions such as f[x_]=x^2 specify values for functions. Sometimes, however, you need to specify general properties of functions, without necessarily giving explicit ...

Of particular importance in handling high-throughput programmatic graphics are Mathematica's sophisticated mechanisms for controlling graphics size and shape—allowing ...

Scan[f, expr] evaluates f applied to each element of expr in turn. Scan[f, expr, levelspec] applies f to parts of expr specified by levelspec.

PerformanceGoal is an option for plotting and various other algorithmic functions that specifies what aspect of performance to try to optimize with Automatic settings for ...

Version 7.0 introduces built-in zero-configuration parallel computing. Taking full advantage of Mathematica's unique symbolic architecture, Version 7.0 provides an ...
