Here the standard procedure used by Mathematica to evaluate expressions is described. This procedure is the one followed for most kinds of expression. There are, however, ...

SpanCharacterRounding is an option for selections that specifies the method used for rounding a spanning character when its size is to be adjusted.

Mathematica 7 delivers the latest fruits of Wolfram Research's major long-term Computable Data Initiative, providing immediate access to curated static and dynamic data in ...

FindLibrary[lib] finds a dynamic library that can be loaded by LibraryFunctionLoad.

Many large-scale applications of linear algebra involve matrices that have many elements, but comparatively few that are nonzero. You can represent such sparse matrices ...

ImageFilter[f, image, r] applies the function f to the range r neighborhood of each pixel in each channel of image.

Mathematica 8 adds a number of new areas for visualization, including statistical, financial, wavelet, and control-related visualizations. These areas all provide a high ...

Erf[z] gives the error function erf(z). Erf[z_0, z_1] gives the generalized error function erf(z_1) - erf(z_0).

The hierarchy of levels at which options can be set. Here is a notebook containing three cells. This is what happens when the setting CellFrame->True is made specifically for ...

Range[i_max] generates the list {1, 2, ..., i_max}. Range[i_min, i_max] generates the list {i_min, ..., i_max}. Range[i_min, i_max, di] uses step di.
