Many of the most powerful list manipulation operations in Mathematica treat whole lists as single objects. Sometimes, however, you need to pick out or set individual elements ...

Picking out elements of lists. We will use this list for the examples. Here is the last element of t.

If you have a list of elements, it is often important to be able to apply a function separately to each of the elements. You can do this in Mathematica using Map. This ...

Mathematica provides a carefully chosen set of functions for accessing elements of lists either using indices or positions, or using patterns or criteria for their values.

Lists are very important structures in Mathematica. Lists allow you treat any kind of collection of objects as a single entity. Sometimes you need to pick out or extract ...

Many computations are conveniently specified in terms of applying functions in parallel to many elements in a list. Mathematica provides a suite of elegant functional ...

Mathematica usually keeps the elements of a list in exactly the order you originally entered them. If you want to treat a Mathematica list like a mathematical set, however, ...

Functions for grouping together elements of lists. Here is a list. This groups the elements of the list in pairs, throwing away the single element left at the end.

Long viewed as an important theoretical idea, functional programming finally became truly convenient and practical with the introduction of Mathematica's symbolic language. ...

Lists are central constructs in Mathematica, used to represent collections, arrays, sets, and sequences of all kinds. Lists can have any structure and size, and can routinely ...
