The ability to generate pseudorandom numbers is important for simulating events, estimating probabilities and other quantities, making randomized assignments or selections, ...

Many differential equations exhibit some form of stiffness, which restricts the step size and hence effectiveness of explicit solution methods. A number of implicit methods ...

Some operators used in basic arithmetic and algebra. Note that the  for ∖[Cross] is distinguished by being drawn slightly smaller than the × for ∖[Times]. Interpretation of ...

Mathematica's unified symbolic graphics architecture makes possible powerful mixing of programmatic graphics generation with interactive editing and control. The Mathematica ...

Mathematica contains some powerful primitives for making structural changes to expressions. You can use these primitives both to implement mathematical properties such as ...

Mathematica allows convenient automated selection of plotting and image regions using a family of specially developed robust algorithms, as well as allowing detailed manual ...

ComplexInfinity represents a quantity with infinite magnitude, but undetermined complex phase.

Long viewed as an important theoretical idea, functional programming finally became truly convenient and practical with the introduction of Mathematica's symbolic language. ...

EffectiveInterest[r, q] gives the effective interest rate corresponding to interest specification r, compounded at time intervals q.

CellularAutomaton[rule, init, t] generates a list representing the evolution of the cellular automaton with the specified rule from initial condition init for t steps. ...
