expression
For integer
expression1
and
expression2
with
expression1
‚
expression2
‚ 0, nCr() is the number
of combinations of
expression1
things taken
expression2
at a time. (This is also known as a
binomial coefficient.) Both arguments can be
integers or symbolic expressions.
nCr(

⇒
list
Returns a list of combinations based on the
corresponding element pairs in the two lists. The
arguments must be the same size list.

matrix2
) ⇒
⇒⇒
⇒
matrix
Returns a matrix of combinations based on the
corresponding element pairs in the two matrices.
The arguments must be the same size matrix.

nDeriv(
matrix
,

]) ⇒
⇒⇒
⇒
matrix
Returns the numerical derivative as an
expression. Uses the central difference quotient
formula.
h
is the step value. If
h
is omitted, it defaults to
0.001.
When using
list
or
matrix
, the operation gets
mapped across the values in the list or across the
matrix elements.
Note: See also avgRC() and
d
().

NewData CATALOG
NewData
dataVar

Creates data variable
dataVar,
where the columns
are the lists in order.
Must have at least one list.
list1
,
list2
, ...,
listn
can be lists as shown,
expressions that resolve to lists, or list variable
names.
NewData makes the new variable current in
the Data/Matrix Editor.
