Functions and commands

UFACTOR

Factorizes a unit in a unit object.

ufactor(Unit,Unit)

unapply

Returns the function defined by an expression and a variable.

unapply(Expr,Var)

Example:

unapply(2*x^2,x)

gives

(x)->2*x^2

UNTIL

Used in programming to indicate the conditions under which

a statement should stop being executed.

USIMPLIFY

Simplifies a unit in a unit object.

usimplify(Unit)

valuation

Returns the valuation (degree of the term of lowest degree) of

a polynomial. With only a polynomial as argument, the

valuation returned is for x. With a variable as second

argument, the valuation is performed for it.

valuation(Poly,[Var])

Example:

valuation(x^4+x^3)

gives

3

variance

Returns the variance of a list or the list of variances of the

columns of a matrix. The optional second list is a list of

weights.

variance(Lst||Mtrx,[Lst])

Example:

variance([3,4,2])

gives

2/3

vector

With one point as argument, defines a vector from the origin

to the point. With two points as arguments, defines a vector

from the first point to the second point. With a point and a

vector as arguments, defines a vector beginning from the

point and with direction and magnitude of the vector.

vector(Pnt,Pnt||Pnt,Vect)

vertices

Returns the list of the vertices of a polygon or polyhedron.

vertices(Polygon or Polyedr)

vertices_abca

Returns the closed list [A,B,...A] of the vertices of a polygon or

polyhedron.

vertices_abca(Polygon or Polyedr)
