Controlling Numerical Evaluation (Mathematica Tutorial)

Attributes for controlling numerical evaluation. Usually N goes inside functions and gets applied to each of their arguments. This tells Mathematica not to apply N to the ...

ExponentialFamily (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

ExponentialFamily is an option for GeneralizedLinearModelFit that specifies the exponential family for the model.

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 ...

Monitoring and Selecting Algorithms (Mathematica Tutorial)

Functions in Mathematica are carefully set up so that you normally do not have to know how they work inside. But particularly for numerical functions that use iterative ...

False (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

False is the symbol for the Boolean value false.

LinkCreate (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

LinkCreate["name"] creates a MathLink link with the specified name for another program to connect to. LinkCreate[] creates a MathLink link and picks an unused name for the ...

LinkLaunch (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

LinkLaunch["prog"] starts the external program prog and opens a MathLink connection to it.

Uninstall (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

Uninstall[link] terminates an external program started by Install, and removes Mathematica definitions set up by it.

Introduction to Local Minimization (Mathematica Tutorial)

The essence of most methods is in the local quadratic model that is used to determine the next step. The FindMinimum function in Mathematica has five essentially different ...
