MaxRecursion is an option for functions like NIntegrate and Plot that specifies how many recursive subdivisions can be made.

N[expr] gives the numerical value of expr. N[expr, n] attempts to give a result with n-digit precision.

StyleBox[boxes, options] is a low-level representation of boxes to be shown with the specified option settings. StyleBox[boxes, " style"] uses the option setting for the ...

VectorScale is an option to VectorPlot, ListVectorPlot, and related functions that determines the length and arrowhead size of field vectors that are drawn.

Xnor[e_1, e_2, ...] is the logical XNOR (not XOR) function. It gives True if an even number of the e_i are True, and the rest are False. It gives False if an odd number of ...

Xor[e_1, e_2, ...] is the logical XOR (exclusive OR) function. It gives True if an odd number of the e_i are True, and the rest are False. It gives False if an even number of ...

Unless f is a flat function, a pattern like f[x_,y_] stands only for instances of the function with exactly two arguments. Sometimes you need to set up patterns that can ...

The Part function allows you to access specific parts of Mathematica expressions. But particularly when your expressions have fairly uniform structure, it is often convenient ...

The replacement operator /. allows you to apply transformation rules to a specific expression. Often, however, you want to have transformation rules automatically applied ...

There are many situations where you want to write a particular algebraic expression in the simplest possible form. Although it is difficult to know exactly what one means in ...
