Wolfram LibraryLink allows dynamic libraries to be directly loaded into the Mathematica kernel so that functions in the libraries can be immediately called from Mathematica. ...

Abort[] generates an interrupt to abort a computation.

NumberFormat is an option for NumberForm and related functions that specifies how the mantissa, base, and exponent should be assembled into a final print form.

This does an integral over the interior of the unit circle. Here is an equivalent form. Even though an integral may be straightforward over a simple rectangular region, it ...

Mathematica 's functions for solving differential equations can be applied to many different classes of differential equations, including ordinary differential equations ...

Max[x_1, x_2, ...] yields the numerically largest of the x_i. Max[{x_1, x_2, ...}, {y_1, ...}, ...] yields the largest element of any of the lists.

"Gauss–Newton" and "conjugate gradient" methods use derivatives. When Mathematica cannot compute symbolic derivatives, finite differences will be used. Computing derivatives ...

ScalingFunctions is an option for BarChart, Histogram, and other charting functions that specifies what scaling functions should be used.

Mathematically, sufficient conditions for a local minimum of a smooth function are quite straightforward: x^* is a local minimum if ∇f(x^*)=0 and the Hessian ∇^2f(x^*) is ...

BooleanAlgebra[n] gives a Hasse diagram for the Boolean algebra on n elements. The function takes two options: Type and VertexLabel, with default values Undirected and False, ...
