Mathematica List of Mathematica Built-in Functions

AI Thread Summary
A user sought a comprehensive list of Mathematica functions and operators but struggled to find one. They initially attempted to list elements of Symbol, thinking it was the head of all functions, but this approach failed. Other users suggested utilizing the Documentation Center's "Index of Functions" and the "guide/AlphabeticalListing" for better navigation. Additionally, executing the command "?? A*" in Mathematica reveals clickable lists of symbols starting with A, which can be helpful for exploring functions. The discussion highlights useful techniques for discovering functions and navigating Mathematica's resources effectively.

I couldn't find list of functions or operators.

My naive approch was to list the elements of Symbol as Symbol seems to be the Head of all functions--but this didn't work.

Is there a way for Mathematica to generate this?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Baring that, what is a good language reference, hardcopy or online text?
 
Help >> Documentation Center

on the bottom left "Index of Functions"or search "guide/AlphabeticalListing"
 
Thanks Hepth! That opened up a whole new part of the Wolfram website of which I was not aware.
 
Also, in Mathematica if you execute:
?? A*
then you will get a list of all symbols beginning with A. The list is clickable so that you can find out more about any one.
 
That's useful. I found mathematica can also usfully recognise patterns such as

?? *Form
?? P*Form
?? *Hold*
