Assumptions

Restrict possible values of a symbolic object

Use assumptions to restrict the possible range of values of variables or expressions. For details, see Use Assumptions on Symbolic Variables. To verify if a condition holds, use isAlways.

Functions

Set Assumptions

`assume`	Set assumption on symbolic object
`assumeAlso`	Add assumption on symbolic object
`assumptions`	Show assumptions affecting symbolic variable, expression, or function
