$MaxMachineNumber is the largest machine-precision number that can be used on a particular computer system.

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 ...

RandomVariate[dist] gives a pseudorandom variate from the symbolic distribution dist.RandomVariate[dist, n] gives a list of n pseudorandom variates from the symbolic ...

LCM[n_1, n_2, ...] gives the least common multiple of the n_i.

MPS mathematical file format. De facto standard for specifying linear programming (LP) problems. Commonly used as input format by LP solvers. MPS is an acronym for ...

ImplementJavaInterface[interfaces, mappings] uses the Dynamic Proxy facility of Java to create a new Java class and return an object of that class that implements the named ...

Animate[expr, {u, u_min, u_max}] generates an animation of expr in which u varies continuously from u_min to u_max. Animate[expr, {u, u_min, u_max, du}] takes u to vary in ...

The functions FindMinimum, FindMaximum, and FindRoot have the HoldAll attribute and so have special semantics for evaluation of their arguments. First, the variables are ...

DiscreteDelta[n_1, n_2, ...] gives the discrete delta function \[Delta] (n_1, n_2, ...), equal to 1 if all the n_i are zero, and 0 otherwise.

CInclude[header] is a symbolic representation of a preprocessor include statement.
