Consider the expression (x+1)2. One can use Mathematica to expand this expression: Expand[(x+1)^2] 1+2x+x2 Mathematica can also do the inverse of this task, namely to factorize an expression:
Basics of Mathematica for data analysis
www.columbia.edu/~nas2173/tutorial.pdfThis tutorial is organized as follows. In Section 2 I will enumerate those aspects that are general to any Mathematica code and hence should be kept in mind through out the whole tutorial. In Section 3 I will introduce the most common functionalities of Mathematica. These will be fairly general and will come handy in the future, every
