Functions and commands

Example:

mult_conjugate

returns

nDeriv

Given an expression, a variable of differentiation, and a real

number h, returns an approximate value of the derivative of

the expression, using f’(x)=(f(x+h)–f(x+h))/(2*h).
Without a third argument, the value of h is set to 0.001; with

a real as third argument, it is the value of h. With a variable

as the third argument, returns the expression above with that

variable in place of h.

nDeriv(Expr,Var, Real) or
nDeriv(Expr, Var1, Var2)

Example:

nDeriv(f(x),x,h) returns (f(x+h)-(f(x-h)))*0.5/h

NEG

Unary minus. Enters the negative sign.

normal

Returns the expanded irreducible form of an expression.

normal(Expr)

Example:

normal(2*x*2)

gives

4*x

normalize

Given a vector, returns it divided by its l

2

norm (where the l

2

norm is the square root of the sum of the squares of the

vector’s coordinates).
Given a complex number, returns it divided by its modulus.

normalize(Vector) or normalize(Complex)

Example:

normalize(3+4*i)

gives

(3+4*i)/5

NOT

Returns the logical inverse of a Boolean expression.

not(Expr)

odd

Returns 1 if a given integer is odd, and returns 0 otherwise.

odd(Integer)

Example:

odd(6)

gives

0
