Presburger arithmetic is the first-order theory of the natural numbers with addition (but no multiplication). We characterize sets that can be defined by a Presburger formula as exactly the sets whose ...

Polynomial interpolation to analytic functions can be very accurate, depending on the distribution of the interpolation nodes. However, in equispaced nodes and the like, besides being badly ...

Bernstein polynomial estimation provides a robust nonparametric technique for approximating both density and distribution functions. Based on the properties of Bernstein polynomials, which uniformly ...

Thus {f, g} represents the unordered pair of functions f and g. So will plot both f and g on the same graph. We don't care wich order it does them in so we can give f and g as an unordered pair.

Three hours of lecture/discussion per week. Algebraic operations on polynomials and rational functions as expressions, in equations, or inequalities. Graphing of linear and polynomial equations. An ...

Long before robots could run or cars could drive themselves, mathematicians contemplated a simple mathematical question. They figured it out, then laid it to rest—with no way of knowing that the ...
