It is always a good idea to give variables and functions names that are as explicit as possible. Sometimes, however, such names may get inconveniently long. In Mathematica, ...

When you do calculations with arbitrary-precision numbers, Mathematica keeps track of precision at all points. In general, Mathematica tries to give you results which have ...

Arrowheads[spec] is a graphics directive specifying that arrows that follow should have arrowheads with sizes, positions, and forms specified by spec.

Orthogonal polynomials. Legendre polynomials LegendreP[n,x] arise in studies of systems with three-dimensional spherical symmetry. They satisfy the differential equation ...

DistributedContexts is an option for various parallel computing functions that specifies which definitions for symbols appearing in an expression should be distributed to all ...

$DistributedContexts is the default value of the DistributedContexts option of functions such as ParallelTable and ParallelMap.

PoincareSection is a setting for the option TrekGenerator that specifies that the Poincaré section for differential equations is used to generate treks.

Patterns stand for classes of expressions. They contain pattern objects that represent sets of possible expressions. Pattern objects. When several pattern objects with the ...
