The built-in Mathematica iteration functions such as Table and Sum evaluate their arguments in a slightly special way. When evaluating an expression like Table[f,{i,i_max}], ...

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 ...

ImageDeconvolve[image, ker] gives a deconvolution of image using kernel ker.

Signature[list] gives the signature of the permutation needed to place the elements of list in canonical order.

Xor[e_1, e_2, ...] is the logical XOR (exclusive OR) function. It gives True if an odd number of the e_i are True, and the rest are False. It gives False if an even number of ...

In addition to the interfaces of Import and Export, Mathematica 8 comes with an autoloading mechanism that simplifies the registration of formats used by the Import and ...

Mathematica provides systemwide support for a large number of special characters. Each character has a name and a number of shortcut aliases. They are fully supported by the ...

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 ...

Eigenvectors[m] gives a list of the eigenvectors of the square matrix m. Eigenvectors[{m, a}] gives the generalized eigenvectors of m with respect to a. Eigenvectors[m, k] ...

LevyDistribution[\[Mu], \[Sigma]] represents a Lévy distribution with location parameter \[Mu] and dispersion parameter \[Sigma].
