DefaultLabelStyle is a low-level option for formatting and related constructs that specifies the default style to use in displaying their label-like elements.
DiacriticalPositioning is an option for UnderscriptBox and related boxes that specifies how close diacritical characters are drawn to the base character.
CanberraDistance[u, v] gives the Canberra distance between vectors u and v.
GridCreationSettings -> {opt_1 -> val_1, opt_2 -> val_2, ...} is a global option that specifies settings for the Create Table/Matrix dialog.
All textual and graphical forms in Mathematica are ultimately represented in terms of nested collections of boxes. Typically the elements of these boxes correspond to objects ...
Throw
(Built-in Mathematica Symbol) Throw[value] stops evaluation and returns value as the value of the nearest enclosing Catch. Throw[value, tag] is caught only by Catch[expr, form] where form is a pattern ...
MapAt
(Built-in Mathematica Symbol) MapAt[f, expr, n] applies f to the element at position n in expr. If n is negative, the position is counted from the end. MapAt[f, expr, {i, j, ...}] applies f to the part of ...
Resultant[poly_1, poly_2, var] computes the resultant of the polynomials poly_1 and poly_2 with respect to the variable var. Resultant[poly_1, poly_2, var, Modulus -> p] ...
Map
(Built-in Mathematica Symbol) Map[f, expr] or f /@ expr applies f to each element on the first level in expr. Map[f, expr, levelspec] applies f to parts of expr specified by levelspec.
Packed into functions like Solve and Reduce are a wealth of sophisticated algorithms, many created specifically for Mathematica. Routinely handling both dense and sparse ...
