calc: Mathematica Language Mode
7.8.8 Mathematica Language Mode
-------------------------------
The ‘d M’ (‘calc-mathematica-language’) command selects the conventions
of Mathematica. Notable differences in Mathematica mode are that the
names of built-in functions are capitalized, and function calls use
square brackets instead of parentheses. Thus the Calc formula ‘sin(2
x)’ is entered and displayed ‘Sin[2 x]’ in Mathematica mode.
Vectors and matrices use curly braces in Mathematica. Complex
numbers are written ‘3 + 4 I’. The standard special constants in Calc
are written ‘Pi’, ‘E’, ‘I’, ‘GoldenRatio’, ‘EulerGamma’, ‘Infinity’,
‘ComplexInfinity’, and ‘Indeterminate’ in Mathematica mode. Non-decimal
numbers are written, e.g., ‘16^^7fff’. Floating-point numbers in
scientific notation are written ‘1.23*10.^3’. Subscripts use double
square brackets: ‘a[[i]]’.
