a ** b ** c is a general associative, but non-commutative, form of multiplication.

SolveAlways[eqns, vars] gives the values of parameters that make the equations eqns valid for all values of the variables vars.

TokenWords is an option for Read and related functions which gives a list of token words to be used to delimit words.

Simplifying with assumptions. Mathematica does not automatically simplify this, since it is only true for some values of x. Sqrt[x^2] is equal to x for x≥0, but not otherwise.

SimilarityRules is an option for functions such as SequenceAlignment that gives a list of rules for similarity scores to assume between pairs of elements.

Type the expression that will have an overscript. Type x. Create an overscript by pressing the Control key and the 7 key at the same time.
