Four underlying types of numbers are built into Mathematica. Intrinsic types of numbers in Mathematica. Rational numbers always consist of a ratio of two integers, reduced to ...

Output formats for numbers. These numbers are given in the default output format. Large numbers are given in scientific notation. This gives all numbers in scientific ...

Mathematica has three functions for generating pseudorandom numbers that are distributed uniformly over a range of values. Pseudorandom number generation. Generating tables ...

The representation of algebraic numbers. When you enter a Root object, the polynomial that appears in it is automatically reduced to a minimal form. This extracts the pure ...

PrintingStartingPageNumber is an option for notebooks that specifies what number to assign to the first page of a notebook when printed.

RandomReal[] gives a pseudorandom real number in the range 0 to 1. RandomReal[{x_min, x_max}] gives a pseudorandom real number in the range x_min to x_max. RandomReal[x_max] ...

RandomInteger[{i_min, i_max}] gives a pseudorandom integer in the range {i_min, i_max}. RandomInteger[i_max] gives a pseudorandom integer in the range {0, ...

When you do calculations with arbitrary-precision numbers, Mathematica keeps track of precision at all points. In general, Mathematica tries to give you results which have ...

Whenever machine-precision numbers appear in a calculation, the whole calculation is typically done in machine precision. Mathematica will then give machine-precision numbers ...

QuadraticIrrationalQ[x] gives True if x is a quadratic irrational and False otherwise.
