I wanted to ask a simple question. I am new to Mathematica, and I don`t find a way to call user defined functions just as I call Mathematica functions.

I want to use my own defined functions, but call them from different notebooks without including them in each notebook.

Is it possible? Thanks!

One way to do it is the following. Evaluate in a Mathematica notebook the following

$UserBaseDirectory <> "/Kernel"

Go to the corresponding file and create through Mathematica (if it is not already existing) an init.m file with your definitions e.g.

whateverFunct[x_]:=3x+5;
