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 ...

Typical command-line options for Mathematica executables. If the Mathematica front end is called with a notebook file as a command-line argument, then this notebook will be ...

The simplest way to mix text and formulas in a Mathematica notebook is to put each kind of material in a separate cell. Sometimes, however, you may want to embed a formula ...

NDSolve uses norms of error estimates to determine when solutions satisfy error tolerances. In nearly all cases the norm has been weighted, or scaled, such that it is less ...

Exact symbolic results are usually very desirable when they can be found. In many calculations, however, it is not possible to get symbolic results. In such cases, you must ...

In using Mathematica, you sometimes need to repeat an operation many times. There are many ways to do this. Often the most natural is in fact to set up a structure such as a ...

All textual and graphical forms in Mathematica are ultimately represented in terms of nested collections of boxes. Typically the elements of these boxes correspond to objects ...

You can tell a lot about what "type" of expression something is by looking at its head. Thus, for example, an integer has head Integer, while a list has head List. In a ...

Mathematica is a modular software system in which the kernel which actually performs computations is separate from the front end which handles interaction with the user. The ...

The essence of most methods is in the local quadratic model that is used to determine the next step. The FindMinimum function in Mathematica has five essentially different ...
