DSolve returns a general solution for a problem if no initial or boundary conditions are specified. The general solution to this equation is returned. However, if initial or ...

In order to write the most general Mathematica programs you will sometimes need to find out global information about the setup under which your program is being run. Thus, ...

Mathematica provides various options for labeling three-dimensional graphics. Some of these options are directly analogous to those for two-dimensional graphics, discussed in ...

Ways to label two-dimensional plots. Here is a plot, using the default Axes->True. Setting Frame->True generates a frame with axes, and removes tick marks from the ordinary ...

The complete collection of Greek letters in Mathematica. You can use Greek letters as the names of symbols. The only Greek letter with a built-in meaning in StandardForm is ...

You can enable logging in two ways. The log file records messages as they occur, building up a detailed record of license activity over a period of time. Logging supports ...

Pure functions. When you use functional operations such as Nest and Map, you always have to specify a function to apply. In all the examples above, we have used the "name" of ...

Mathematica saves information about every plot you produce, so that you can later redraw it. When you redraw plots, you can change some of the options you use. Functions for ...

The function FindRoot has a Jacobian option; the functions FindMinimum, FindMaximum, and FindFit have a Gradient option; and the "Newton" method has a method option Hessian. ...
