The built-in Mathematica iteration functions such as Table and Sum evaluate their arguments in a slightly special way. When evaluating an expression like Table[f,{i,i_max}], ...

Mathematica provides functions for the aesthetic drawing of graphs. Algorithms implemented include spring embedding, spring-electrical embedding, high-dimensional embedding, ...

In many cases, you will find it convenient to communicate with external programs at a high level, and to exchange structured data with them. On almost all computer systems, ...

One of the most important features of Mathematica is that it is an extensible system. There is a certain amount of mathematical and other functionality that is built into ...

Functions in Mathematica are carefully set up so that you normally do not have to know how they work inside. But particularly for numerical functions that use iterative ...

The basic idea behind the "StiffnessSwitching" method is to provide an automatic means of switching between a nonstiff and a stiff solver. The "StiffnessTest" and ...

This dialog displays information regarding the editing times of the input notebook. This is a "live" dialog that dynamically updates as changes are made to the notebook. It ...

There are many situations where you want to write a particular algebraic expression in the simplest possible form. Although it is difficult to know exactly what one means in ...

You can give Solve a list of simultaneous equations to solve. Solve can find explicit solutions for a large class of simultaneous polynomial equations. Here is a simple ...

Mathematica includes a very large collection of mathematical functions. "Mathematical Functions" gives the complete list. Here are a few of the common ones. Some common ...
