Not just Mathematica. In Sage:
sage: N?
Base Class: <type 'function'>
String Form: <function numerical_approx at 0x1bd7230>
Namespace: Interactive
File:
/home/ghitza/sage-devel/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sage/misc/functional.py
Definition: N(x, prec=None, digits=None)
Docstring:
Returns a numerical approximation of x with at least prec bits of
precision.
Note: Both upper case N and lower case n are aliases for
``numerical_approx()``.
(...and so on and so forth)
Best,
Alex
