Building on Mathematica's strengths in large-scale data handling, numerical optimization, and geometric computation, Version 6.0 brought a new level of automation to data ...

Mathematica allows almost every aspect of sessions to be customized, under full programmatic control.

EdgeWeight is an option and property for Graph and related functions that specifies an edge weight.

Khinchin is Khinchin's constant, with numerical value \[TildeEqual] 2.68545.

The general principle that Mathematica follows in evaluating expressions is to go on applying transformation rules until the expressions no longer change. This means, for ...

Circle[{x, y}, r] is a two-dimensional graphics primitive that represents a circle of radius r centered at the point x, y. Circle[{x, y}] gives a circle of radius 1. ...

With the default option setting Lighting->Automatic, Mathematica uses a simulated lighting model to determine how to color polygons in three-dimensional graphics. Mathematica ...

Nearest[{elem_1, elem_2, ...}, x] gives the list of elem_i to which x is nearest. Nearest[{elem_1 -> v_1, elem_2 -> v_2, ...}, x] gives the v_i corresponding to the elem_i to ...

In two decades of intense algorithmic development, Mathematica has established a new level of numerical computation. Particularly notable are its many original highly ...

$MachinePrecision gives the number of decimal digits of precision used for machine-precision numbers.
