All the functions FindMinimum, FindMaximum, and FindRoot take variable specifications of the same form. The function FindFit uses the same form for its parameter ...

WaveletFilterCoefficients[wave, filt] gives the filter coefficients for the symbolic wavelet wave of type filt.

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 ...

Any Mathematica symbol can have both a variety of types of values, and a variety of independently settable attributes that define overall aspects of its behavior.

Gradient is an option for FindMinimum and related functions that specifies the gradient vector to assume for the function being extremized.

We first encountered lists in "Making Lists of Objects" as a way of collecting numbers together. Here, we shall see many different ways to use lists. You will find that lists ...

Numerical algorithms for constrained nonlinear optimization can be broadly categorized into gradient-based methods and direct search methods. Gradient search methods use ...

Introduced soon after ordinary hypergeometric functions, the q functions have long been studied as theoretical generalizations of hypergeometric and other functions. ...

Automatic Numbering creates an automatic numbering object, or counter, in the current notebook.

ExpressionCell[expr] gives an expression cell that can appear in a Mathematica notebook. ExpressionCell[expr, " style"] gives an expression cell with the specified style.
