Hyperfactorial[n] gives the hyperfactorial function H(n).
Searching for local minima and maxima. This finds the value of x which minimizes Γ(x), starting at x2. The last element of the list gives the value at which the minimum is ...
Minimization and maximization. Minimize and Maximize yield lists giving the value attained at the minimum or maximum, together with rules specifying where the minimum or ...
Extensively used within the Mathematica system itself, MathLink is Mathematica's unique high-level symbolic interface standard for interprogram communication. With convenient ...
Mathematica is a large and complex software system. Although strongly not supported for production purposes, it is sometimes instructive to "spelunk" in the system, looking ...
NMaximize[f, x] maximizes f numerically with respect to x.NMaximize[f, {x, y, ...}] maximizes f numerically with respect to x, y, .... NMaximize[{f, cons}, {x, y, ...}] ...
Root
(Built-in Mathematica Symbol) Root[f, k] represents the exact k\[Null]^th root of the polynomial equation f[x] == 0. Root[{f, x_0}] represents the exact root of the general equation f[x] == 0 near x = ...
If
(Built-in Mathematica Symbol) If[condition, t, f] gives t if condition evaluates to True, and f if it evaluates to False. If[condition, t, f, u] gives u if condition evaluates to neither True nor False.
MaxValue[f, x] gives the maximum value of f with respect to x.MaxValue[f, {x, y, ...}] gives the maximum value of f with respect to x, y, .... MaxValue[{f, cons}, {x, y, ...
Maximize[f, x] maximizes f with respect to x.Maximize[f, {x, y, ...}] maximizes f with respect to x, y, .... Maximize[{f, cons}, {x, y, ...}] maximizes f subject to the ...
