How tos (Mathematica Guide)

A "How to" describes how to carry out particular tasks with Mathematica, giving step-by-step instructions for common cases.

Unconstrained Optimization (Mathematica Overview)

Introduction Methods for Local Minimization Methods for Solving Nonlinear Equations

ParameterEstimator (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

ParameterEstimator is an option to EstimatedDistribution and FindDistributionParameters that specifies what parameter estimator to use.

PDF (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

PDF[dist, x] gives the probability density function for the symbolic distribution dist evaluated at x.PDF[dist, {x_1, x_2, ...}] gives the multivariate probability density ...

Number Theoretic Functions (Mathematica Guide)

Mathematica contains the world's largest collection of number theoretic functions, many based on specially developed algorithms.

Implies (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

Implies[p, q] represents the logical implication p \[DoubleRightArrow] q.

InverseSeries (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

InverseSeries[s] takes the series s, and gives a series for the inverse of the function represented by s. InverseSeries[s, x] uses the variable x in the inverse series.

IsolatingInterval (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

IsolatingInterval[a] gives a rational isolating interval for the algebraic number a.IsolatingInterval[a, dx] gives an isolating interval of width at most dx.

MultiplicativeOrder (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

MultiplicativeOrder[k, n] gives the multiplicative order of k modulo n, defined as the smallest integer m such that k^m \[Congruent] 1 mod n. MultiplicativeOrder[k, n, {r_1, ...

PartitionsP (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

PartitionsP[n] gives the number p (n) of unrestricted partitions of the integer n.
