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
) ⇒

nCr(
expression, negInteger

nCr(
list1
,
list2
) ⇒
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({5,4,3},{2,4,2})
¸
{10 1 3}
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() MATH/Calculus menu
nDeriv(
expression1
,
var
[
,
h
]
) ⇒
expression
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.

avgRC()
and
d

NewData CATALOG
NewData
dataVar

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.
