With Mathematica's citation management features, you can annotate and add references to research papers written using Mathematica. These features work in conjunction with the ...

Combinatorial functions. The factorial function n! gives the number of ways of ordering n objects. For non-integer n, the numerical value of n! is obtained from the gamma ...

NMinimize, NMaximize, Minimize, and Maximize employ global optimization algorithms, and are thus suitable when a global optimum is needed. Minimize and Maximize can find ...

When you set up a graphics object in Mathematica, you give coordinates for the various graphical elements that appear. When Mathematica renders the graphics object, it has to ...

Mathematica includes all the common special functions of mathematical physics found in standard handbooks. Each of the various classes of functions is discussed in turn. One ...

The basis for a nonlinear conjugate gradient method is to effectively apply the linear conjugate gradient method, where the residual is replaced by the gradient. A model ...

DiscreteUniformDistribution[{i_min, i_max}] represents a discrete uniform distribution over the integers from i_min to i_max.DiscreteUniformDistribution[{{i_min, i_max}, ...

LineIntegralConvolutionPlot[{{v_x, v_y}, image}, {x, x_min, x_max}, {y, y_min, y_max}] generates a line integral convolution plot of image convolved with the vector field ...

ListLineIntegralConvolutionPlot[{array, image}] generates a line integral convolution plot of image convolved with the vector field defined by an array of vector field ...
