Pattern matching makes possible some of the most succinct and elegant programs in the Mathematica language—immediately compressing large numbers of conditional cases into ...

As with integers, operations related to division are key to many computations with polynomials. Mathematica includes not only highly optimized univariate polynomial-division ...

Mathematica incorporates the latest highly efficient algorithms to allow operations on strings with millions of elements, all making use of Mathematica's unique symbolic ...

Mathematica's unified symbolic architecture immediately allows it to perform structural transformations not only on objects like lists, but also on general symbolic ...

Mathematica's symbolic architecture supports a highly generalized notion of assignment, in which you can specify a transformation for any class of expressions defined by a ...

This constructs the sum ∑_(i=1)^7 (x^i)/(i) . You can leave out the lower limit if it is equal to 1. This makes i increase in steps of 2, so that only odd-numbered values are ...

Mathematica's extensive base of state-of-the-art algorithms, efficient handling of very long integers, and powerful built-in language make it uniquely suited to both research ...

Mathematica represents vectors as lists, and never needs to distinguish between row and column cases. Vectors in Mathematica can always mix numbers and arbitrary symbolic or ...

x *= c multiplies x by c and returns the new value of x.

Hash[expr] gives an integer hash code for the expression expr.Hash[expr, " type"] gives an integer hash code of the specified type for expr.
