Functions and commands

stddevp

Returns the population standard deviation of the elements in

a list or returns the list of standard deviations of the columns

of a matrix. The optional second list is a list of weights.

stddevp(Lst||Mtrx,[Lst])

Example:

stddevp([1,2,3])

gives

1

STEP

Used in programming to indicate the step in an iteration or

the step size of an incrementation.

sto

Stores a real or string in a variable.

sto((Real or Str),Var)

sturmseq

Returns the Sturm sequence for a polynomial or a rational

fraction.

sturmseq(Poly,[Var])

Example:

sturmseq(x^3-1,x)

gives

[1,[[1,0,0,-

1],[3,0,0],9],1]

subMat

Extracts from a matrix a sub matrix with first element=A[n1,n2]

and last element=A[n3,n4].

subMat(Mtrx(A),Intg(n1),Intg(n2),Intg(n3),Int
g(n4))

Example:

subMat([[1,2],[3,4],[5,6]],1,0,2,1)

gives

[[3,4],[5,6]]

suppress

Returns a list without the nth element.

suppress(Lst,Intg(n))

Example:

suppress([0,1,2,3],2)

gives

[0,1,3]

surd

Returns an expression to the power of 1/n.

surd(Expr,Intg(n))

Example:

surd(8,3)

gives

8^(1/3)
