Examples

Basic Examples  (7)

Display known addition formulas for Sin:

Show argument simplifications for the incomplete elliptic integral of the second kind:

Give the residues of the binomial coefficient for symbolic arguments:

Return a list of sample function entities:

Return an entity association over an entity class:

Return identities corresponding to an external cross-reference, if available:

Use to discover properties of a function:

Scope  (7)

Properties  (2)

Most MathematicalFunctionData properties return a list of identities, identity rules, etc.:

A few properties return a single value:

Not all properties have known values:

Property Qualifiers  (5)

By default, all known identities are returned, including some that may hold only over a subset of variable and parameter values:

The "ValidGenerically" qualifier returns only identities that hold generically (i.e. for all complex values, possibly excepting sets of measure zero):

The "IncludedSubexpressions" qualifier returns only those identities that contain one or more user-supplied subexpressions:

With no qualifier, all available identities are returned:

The "ExcludedSubexpressions" qualifier returns only those identities that do not contain one or more user-supplied excluded subexpressions:

With no qualifier, all available identities are returned:

The "TraditionalFormPresentation" qualifier returns results using traditional mathematical typesetting:

The "CrossReferences" qualifier returns known cross-references from a given source or sources corresponding to the specified identities:

Generalizations & Extensions  (1)

Where possible, mathematical expressions appearing in the first argument of MathematicalFunctionData are automatically mapped to their corresponding entities:

Applications  (2)

Verify that an identity yields True by substituting variables into the pure function, applying Activate, and simplifying if necessary:

Some arguments to the pure functions that are returned as entity-property values may be supplied with values that are themselves pure functions:

Since a takes a single argument (a[k]) in the body of this result, substitute in a pure function for its value:

Properties & Relations  (3)

Use ToEntity for entity discovery:

The same Wolfram Language symbol may correspond to different function entities:

Use FromEntity to discover how to express a given mathematical function entity in the Wolfram Language:

Possible Issues  (2)

An identity may yield Undefined if it contains a ConditionalExpression whose condition is not satisfied by the substituted values:

The number of arguments taken by the pure functions within a entity-property list can vary, so care must be taken to ensure that they are applied to the correct number of arguments:
