Finding and setting values of symbols. Mathematica effectively stores all definitions you give as lists of transformation rules. When a particular symbol is encountered, the ...

You can use most of the list operations discussed in "Lists" on any kind of Mathematica expression. By using these operations, you can manipulate the structure of expressions ...

Testing and searching for elements of lists. "Getting Pieces of Lists" discusses how to extract pieces of lists based on their positions or indices. Mathematica also has ...

ReplaceList[expr, rules] attempts to transform the entire expression expr by applying a rule or list of rules in all possible ways, and returns a list of the results ...

Mathematica has over 3000 built-in functions and other objects, all based on a single unified framework, and all carefully designed to work together, both in simple ...

In an expression like f[{a,b,c}] you are giving a list as the argument to a function. Often you need instead to apply a function directly to the elements of a list, rather ...

ListContourPlot[array] generates a contour plot from an array of height values. ListContourPlot[{{x_1, y_1, f_1}, {x_2, y_2, f_2}, ...}] generates a contour plot from values ...

ListPlay[{a_1, a_2, ...}] creates an object that plays as a sound whose amplitude is given by the sequence of levels a_i.

Mathematica includes many powerful operations for working with lists. It is often desirable to map a function onto each individual element in a list. While listable functions ...

By far the largest release since Version 1.0 in 1988, Version 6.0 added a remarkable breadth of new functionality. As well as introducing several major new fundamental ...
