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]]’.
