It also knows the common mathematical constant Mathematica knows the standard elementary functions, such as the trigonometric functions, logarithms and exponentials, Semicolons in Mathematica are used after an expression to suppress an output.īy default, when you type something in a Mathematica notebook, it is regarded as input.įirst of all, Mathematica can do arithmetic with integers and rational numbers exactly, regardless of the Finally, all of theĬhapters are grouped in a single cell, the notebook. Several sections are grouped together into this introductory chapter. For example, the input and outputĬells are grouped together in an input/output cell, which is grouped together will the text cells and more input/output cells Will not see the brackets when the notebook is printed.) Moreover, the cells are nested. Looking to the far right of this document, you will see the brackets that indicate the grouping of the material into the cells. Mathematica has a very useful shortcut for reusing the existing expressions. Mathematica automatically supplied the label "In:=". Mathematica evaluates, returning the result (5) in The input cell (labeled by In:=) contains the expression 2+3, which Return to the main page for the course APMA0340 Return to the main page for the course APMA0330 Return to Mathematica tutorial for the second course APMA0340 Return to Mathematica tutorial for the first course APMA0330
