Functions and commands

vpotential

Given a vector V and a vector of variables, returns the vector

U such that curl(U)=V.

vpotential(Vector1, Vector2)

Example:

vpotential([2*x*y+3,x

2

-4*z,-2*y*z],[x,y,z])

returns

when

Used to introduce a conditional statement.

XOR

Exclusive or. Returns 1 if the first expression is true and the

second expression is false or if the first expression is false and

the second expression is true. Returns 0 otherwise.

Expr1 XOR Expr2

Example:

0 XOR 1 returns 1

yellow

Used in the Symbolic view of the Geometry app. In the

definition of a geometric object, including the statement
“display=yellow” specifies that the object defined will be

drawn in yellow.

zip

Applies a bivariate function to the elements of two lists or

vectors and returns the results in a vector. Without the default

value the length of the vector is the minimum of the lengths of

the two lists; with the default value, the shorter list is padded

with the default value.

zip(‘function’List1, List2, Default) or
zip(‘function’, Vector1, Vector2, Default)

Example:

zip('+',[a,b,c,d], [1,2,3,4])

returns

[a+1 b+2

c+3 d+4]

2

Returns the square of an expression.

(Expr)
