Abs (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

Abs[z] gives the absolute value of the real or complex number z.

Projection Method for NDSolve (Mathematica Tutorial)

When a differential system has a certain structure, it is advantageous if a numerical integration method preserves the structure. In certain situations it is useful to solve ...

DistributionParameterAssumptions (Built-in Mathematica Symbol)

DistributionParameterAssumptions[dist] gives a logical expression for assumptions on parameters in the symbolic distribution dist.
