Mathematica 6.0 fundamentally redefined Mathematica and introduced a major new paradigm for computation. Building on Mathematica's time-tested core symbolic architecture, ...

FixedPoint[f, expr] starts with expr, then applies f repeatedly until the result no longer changes.

Since many functions in Mathematica give solutions in the form of rules, you need to be able to use these rules to explore and interpret your results. Although many of the ...

Module[{x, y, ...}, expr] specifies that occurrences of the symbols x, y, ... in expr should be treated as local. Module[{x = x_0, ...}, expr] defines initial values for x, ...

Suppose two functions have the same domain and different ranges. Plotting them together using Plot uses the same scale for the y values. To compare the functions, TwoAxisPlot ...

One of the most common uses of MathLink is to allow you to call functions in an external program from within Mathematica. Once the external program has been set up, all you ...

Mathematica allows any front end command to be executed programmatically from within the kernel by sending an appropriate front end token. There are tokens for all standard ...

ContinuousAction is an option for Manipulate, Slider, and related functions that specifies whether action should be taken continuously while controls are being moved.

TextureCoordinateScaling is an option to Plot3D and similar functions that specifies whether arguments supplied to a texture coordinate function should be scaled to lie ...

Tan[z] gives the tangent of z.
