Apply
(Built-in Mathematica Symbol) Apply[f, expr] or f @@ expr replaces the head of expr by f. Apply[f, expr, {1}] or f @@@ expr replaces heads at level 1 of expr by f.Apply[f, expr, levelspec] replaces heads ...
Gather
(Built-in Mathematica Symbol) Gather[list] gathers the elements of list into sublists of identical elements.Gather[list, test] applies test to pairs of elements to determine if they should be considered ...
FindDivisions[{x_min, x_max}, n] finds a list of about n "nice" numbers that divide the interval around x_min to x_max into equally spaced parts. FindDivisions[{x_min, x_max, ...
LengthWhile[list, crit] gives the number of continuous elements e_i starting at the beginning of list for which crit[e_i] is True.
The history of an interactive Mathematica computation is both maintained in a fully editable Mathematica notebook, and is stored symbolically in a sequence of In and Out ...
Mathematica 8 adds a number of new areas for visualization, including statistical, financial, wavelet, and control-related visualizations. These areas all provide a high ...
Functions for manipulating files. Different operating systems have different commands for manipulating files. Mathematica provides a simple set of file manipulation ...
The MathLink library provides a collection of C language functions for interacting with Mathematica via MathLink. These functions allow you not only to handle native C data ...
