Hello.
There some packages and utilities from MathWorld.com
One of these packages is Eric Weisstein's SpecialFunctions.m
Does Mathematica 6 has implementated this package or something
similar?
In another CAS there is one built in function called FunctionAdvisor.
(*information and examples follows now*)
FunctionAdvisor();
The usage is as follows:
> FunctionAdvisor( topic, function, ... );
where 'topic' indicates the subject on which advice is required,
'function' is the name of a function, and '...' represents
possible additional input depending on the 'topic' chosen. To list the
possible topics:
> FunctionAdvisor( topics );
A short form usage,
> FunctionAdvisor( function );
with just the name of the function is also available and displays a
summary of information about the function.
(*For example*)
> FunctionAdvisor( integral_form, ln);
z
/
| 1
[ln(z) = | --- d_k1, And(Not(z < 0))]
| _k1
/
1
> FunctionAdvisor( sum_form, tan);
[tan(z) =
infinity
----- _k1 (2 _k1 - 1) _k1 _k1
\ bernoulli(2 _k1) (-1) z (4 - 16 )
) ----------------------------------------------------
/ GAMMA(1 + 2 _k1)
-----
_k1 = 1
Pi
, And(| z | < ----)]
2
> FunctionAdvisor( branch_cuts, dilog);
[dilog(z), z < 0]
(cf. Cheb-Terrab, E.S. "The function wizard project: A Computer
Algebra Handbook of Special Functions".)
Does Mathematica 6 contain something similar? If not, are any plans in
future versions?
Thanks
