Quick Introduction to HyperMath (Written by: Carolina M. e R. Penteado)

This document presents a list of HyperMath commands and language syntax which
can be used for mathematical operations and data analysis.

All the information is available with more details on the online HyperMath help
(D:\hw110_64\help\hmath\hmath.htm).
