propfrac

Returns a fraction or rational fraction A/B simplified to Q+r/

B, where R

propfrac(Fraction) or propfrac(RatFrac)

Example:

propfrac(28/12)

gives

2+1/3

ptayl

Given a polynomial P and a value a, returns the Taylor

polynomial Q such that P(x)=Q(x a).

ptayl(Poly, Value, [Var])

Example:

ptayl(x^2+2*x+1,1)

gives

x^2+4*x+4

purge

Unassigns a variable name.

purge(Var)

q2a

Given a quadratic form and a vector of variables, returns the

matrix of the quadratic form with respect to the given

variables.

q2a(Expr, Vector)

Example:

q2a(x^2+2*x*y+2*y^2,[x,y])

returns

quantile

Given a list or vector, and a quantile value between 0 and 1,

returns the corresponding quantile of the elements of the list

or vector.

quantile(List, Value) or
quantile(Vector, Value)

Example:

quantile([0,1,3,4,2,5,6],0.25) returns 1

quartile1

Given a list or vector, returns the first quartile of the elements

of the list or vector. Given a matrix, returns the first quartile of

the columns of the matrix.

quartile1(List) or quartile1(Vector) or
quartile1(Matrix)

Example:

quartile1([1,2,3,5,10,4]) gives 2

1 1
1 2
