nCr( expression1 , expression2 ) ⇒
⇒⇒
⇒ 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( expression, 0) ⇒ 1
nCr( expression, negInteger ) ⇒ 0
nCr(
expression, posInteger ) ⇒
expressionø ( expression ì 1) ... ( expressionì posInteger +1)/

nCr(
expression, nonInteger ) ⇒ expression !/

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

nCr( matrix1 , 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( expression1 , var, list ) ⇒
⇒⇒
⇒ list
nDeriv( list , var [, h ]) ⇒
⇒⇒
⇒ list
nDeriv( matrix , var [, h ]) ⇒
⇒⇒
⇒ 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.

NewData CATALOG
NewData dataVar , list1 [, list2 ] [, list3 ]...
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.
NewData mydata,{1,2,3},{4,5,6} ¸
Done
(Go to the Data/Matrix Editor and
open the
var mydata to display the
data variable below.)
NewData dataVar , matrix
Creates data variable dataVar based on matrix .
