NMinValue[f, x] gives the minimum value of f with respect to x.NMinValue[f, {x, y, ...}] gives the minimum value of f with respect to x, y, .... NMinValue[{f, cons}, {x, y, ...

StringMatchQ (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

StringMatchQ["string", patt] tests whether " string" matches the string pattern patt. StringMatchQ["string", RegularExpression["regex"]] tests whether " string" matches the ...

Colors (Mathematica Guide)

Combining a new level of programmatic support for symbolic color with carefully chosen aesthetic color parametrizations, Mathematica allows a uniquely flexible and compelling ...

BitOr (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

BitOr[n_1, n_2, ...] gives the bitwise OR of the integers n_i.

Differentiation (Mathematica Tutorial)

Partial differentiation operations. This gives ( ∂ ) / ( ∂x ) x^n. This gives the third derivative.

Equations with Non-Rational Coefficients (Mathematica Tutorial)

The ODEs that arise in practical applications often have non-rational coefficients. In such cases, DSolve attempts to convert the equation into one with rational coefficients ...

Manipulating Value Lists (Mathematica Tutorial)

Finding and setting values of symbols. Mathematica effectively stores all definitions you give as lists of transformation rules. When a particular symbol is encountered, the ...

Naming and Finding Files (Mathematica Tutorial)

The precise details of the naming of files differ from one computer system to another. Nevertheless, Mathematica provides some fairly general mechanisms that work on all ...

Numerical Solution of Polynomial ... (Mathematica Tutorial)

When Solve cannot find solutions in terms of radicals to polynomial equations, it returns a symbolic form of the result in terms of Root objects. You can get numerical ...

Summation of Series (Mathematica Tutorial)

Evaluating sums. Mathematica recognizes this as the power series expansion of e^x. This sum comes out in terms of a Bessel function.
