Clearly the @ notation is inspired by the usual mathematical notation for function composition. f@g[x] looks very similar to the mathematical notation $(f\circ g)(x)$. But it is important to understand that @ does not denote function composition. In mathematical notation $f\circ g$ is also a function. In Mathematica f@x is simply a different way to ...

Try this: Map[If[#==1,Unevaluated@Sequence[],#]&,{1,2,3}] Note the output. The 1 is gone. That's because Unevaluated@Sequence[] puts the empty sequence there, that is, "nothing". ##&[] is a shorthand that can be used in most places for same - ## is the sequence of arguments, & makes it a function to apply to something, [] is that something - ...

... why introduce Composition as a new feature? Composition is used to create a new anonymous function that can be used in all the standard ways such as Map and Apply etc. To achieve the same thing without it one needs a Function. Much like operator forms the use of Composition allows one to eliminate extraneous Function constructs which can make code ...

I believe it is important to get a fundamental understanding of what Pure Functions are that goes beyond the understanding using of a syntax. Hereafter an non-exhaustif summary of a few key understandings: 1) Pure Functions have they roots in Lambda calculus that forms the basis of functional programming paradigm implemented in Mathematica. 2) In ...

If you cannot resolve the keyboard behavior try an alternate input form; I propose: EscdinttEsc To input: Then use Tab to move between the Placeholder fields.

Instead of adding first a subscript and then a separate superscript, you need to add joint pair. Ctrl-% moves between the sub- and superscripts, but the actual keyboard shortcut may be dependent on your keyboard layout. Also try Ctrl-5. You can look up the shortcut next to the Insert → Typesetting → Opposite Position menu item. On my computer I see Ctrl-5 ...

The fundametal problem is here: Pnt = Append[Pnt, {X, Y}] && Break[] The Break is evaluated and exits before the assignment. Just do this: Pnt = Append[Pnt, {X, Y}] ; Break[] That said Reap/Sow is a better way to go: Bleh[n0_] := Module[{iteration = 1000, error = 10^(-10), denominator = 10^(-10)}, Last@Reap[ Table[ X = ...

Here's a quick&dirty&buggy solution for your two wishes, although I strongly suggest you to do you works the way as the notebook interface designed to. Cls := (SelectionMove[InputNotebook[], All, Notebook]; FrontEndExecute[FrontEndToken["Clear"]]); $Post = (If[Head@$outputNB == Symbol, $outputNB = CreateNotebook[]]; If[# === Null, 1;, ... 2 Your assumptions are most probably wrong, it seems that this function is meant to change CellStyle. e.g. use this code to convert Input cells to Title cells in current notebook: ( SelectionMove[#, All, Cell]; MathLinkCallFrontEnd[FrontEndSelectionSetStyle[#, "Title"]] ) & /@ Cells[CellStyle -> "Input"] Used here: Set the style of a cell ... 2 Well, n[1, 1, 1] (* {1.38996, 1.85383, 1.37325} *) n[5, 5, 5] (* {1.38996, 1.85383, 1.37325} *) When you first define your variables and then assign n[...] to this expression, the expression will evaluate and then be stored as that value. Regardless of what values you pass to n it will always return the same thing. You can read more about how Mathematica ... 2 In addition to what I've said in comments, you can write your function in shorter form: letterIndex2[l_, rot_: 0] := Mod[First@ToCharacterCode[l] - 64 + rot, 26, 1] 1 The reason is that dimension of matrices are not compatible. a = {{-1}, {0}, {0}} Dimensions[a] (* {3, 1} *) b = IdentityMatrix[3] Dimensions[b] (* {3, 3} *) c = {a, b} Dimensions[c] (* {2, 3} *) d = {{7}, {2}, {0}, {0}} Dimensions[d] (* {4, 1} *) If you multiply a$m \times n$matrix by a$n \times l$matrix, you get a$m \times l\$ matrix. ...

You could add set back to your EdgeShapeFunction: EdgeShapeFunction -> (If[#[[1]] != #[[-1]], {Arrowheads[ If[#2[[1]] == chr, {{0.04, 1}}, {{0.02, 0.2}, {0.02, 0.8}}]], Arrow[BSplineCurve[{#[[1]], {0, 0}, #[[-1]]}, SplineWeights -> {2, 1, 2}], .025]}, Opacity[0]] &)
