Successor[e] gives the next element in a canonical ordering of the field elements.

ToElementCode[e] gives a non-negative integer code, less than the field size, associated with the element e.

Directly integrated into Mathematica's uniform architecture for handling lists of data is an array of highly optimized algorithms for transforming and smoothing datasets that ...

x += dx adds dx to x and returns the new value of x.

++x increases the value of x by 1, returning the new value of x.

x -= dx subtracts dx from x and returns the new value of x.

Mathematica's symbolic character allows a powerful unification of the notion of conditionals in programming and in mathematics.

Mathematica conveniently handles currency and unit characters, supporting both native keyboard entry and explicit special character specifications.

Although Diophantine equations provide classic examples of undecidability, Mathematica in practice succeeds in solving a remarkably wide range of such equations—automatically ...

One of the most powerful aspects of graphics in Mathematica is their interactivity. Rotating, zooming, and panning your graphics allows for a more complete visualization ...
