Mathematica has a collection of commands that do unconstrained optimization (FindMinimum and FindMaximum) and solve nonlinear equations (FindRoot) and nonlinear fitting ...
IsolatingInterval[a] gives a rational isolating interval for the algebraic number a.IsolatingInterval[a, dx] gives an isolating interval of width at most dx.
$IterationLimit gives the maximum length of evaluation chain used in trying to evaluate any expression.
$MaxExtraPrecision gives the maximum number of extra digits of precision to be used in functions such as N.
Mathematica provides state-of-the-art high-precision geodesy computation, supporting all standard datums and projections.
TimeUsed[] gives the total number of seconds of CPU time used so far in the current Mathematica session.
Module
(Built-in Mathematica Symbol) Module[{x, y, ...}, expr] specifies that occurrences of the symbols x, y, ... in expr should be treated as local. Module[{x = x_0, ...}, expr] defines initial values for x, ...
Timing
(Built-in Mathematica Symbol) Timing[expr] evaluates expr, and returns a list of the time in seconds used, together with the result obtained.
Mathematica supports a variety of coordinate systems, organized for ease and efficiency of both direct and programmatic use. It supports convenient robust automatic range and ...
Matrix representations of graphs go back a long time and are still in some areas the only way to represent graphs. Adjacency matrices represent adjacent vertices and ...
