On most computer systems, Mathematica can produce not only graphics but also sound. Mathematica treats graphics and sound in a closely analogous way. For example, just as you ...

CurrentValue[item] gives the current value of item at a location in the Mathematica system and interface. CurrentValue[{item, spec}] gives the current value for the feature ...

GroupOrbits[group, {p_1, ...}] returns the orbits of the points p_i under the action of the elements of group.GroupOrbits[group, {p_1, ...}, f] finds the orbits under the ...

The way modules work in Mathematica is basically very simple. Every time any module is used, a new symbol is created to represent each of its local variables. The new symbol ...

The single command Manipulate lets you create an astonishing range of interactive applications with just a few lines of input. Manipulate is designed to be used by anyone who ...

Graphs provide great information visualization. Highlighting graph elements will let information stand out. By using algorithmic graph layouts, much of the structure in a ...

Mathematica not only includes highly optimized implementations of standard image processing filters, but also uses its general symbolic architecture to allow arbitrarily ...

There are a variety of ways to describe probability distributions such as probability density or mass, cumulative versions of density and mass, inverses of the cumulative ...

Whether for simple annotation or to produce publication-quality plots, adding text outside the area of plots is one of many customization features that Mathematica provides ...

Mathematica makes it easy to take even the most complicated derivatives involving any of its huge range of differentiable special functions.
