Functions and commands

179

With two additional complex numbers as third and fourth

arguments, returns a matrix as described for two arguments,

but only for those roots lying in the rectangular region defined

by the diagonal created by the two complex numbers.

complexroot(Poly, Real, [Complex1], [Complex2])

Example:

complexroot(x^3+8, 0.01) returns

This matrix indicates there is 1 complex root at x=–2,

with another root between the two values in the second

row vector and a third root between the two values in the

third row vector.

contains

Given a list or vector and an element, returns the index of the

first occurrence of the element in the list or vector; if the

element does not appear in the list or vector, returns 0.

contains((List, Element) or contains(Vector,
Element)

Example:

contains({0,1,2,3},2) returns 3

CopyVar

Copies the first variable into the second variable without

evaluation.

CopyVar(Var1,Var2)

correlation

Returns the correlation of the elements of a list or matrix.

correlation(List) or correlation(Matrix)

Example:

correlation

returns

count

There are two uses for this function, in which first argument is
always a mapping of a variable onto an expression. If the
expression is a function of the variable, the function is applied
to each element in the vector or matrix (the second argument)
and the sum of the results is returned; if the expression is a
