All quadratic functions have the same type of curved graphs with a line of symmetry. The graph of the quadratic function \(y = ax^2 + bx + c \) has a minimum turning point when \(a \textgreater 0 \) ...
Intended for students with little or no background in basic algebra or whose background is not current. Topics covered include: the real number system, factoring fractions, linear equations, functions ...
The statistical physics of graphs and partition functions represents a vibrant intersection of graph theory, statistical mechanics and computational complexity. By summing over an ensemble of ...
It is well known that the hypergeometric functions $_2F_1 (\alpha \pm 1, \beta, \gamma; t), _2F_1(\alpha, \beta \pm 1, \gamma; t), \quad _2F_1 (\alpha, \beta, \gamma \pm 1; t),$ which are continguous ...
A function is a way of describing what happens to an input variable, in order to get the output result. \(\text{Input} \rightarrow \text{FUNCTION} \rightarrow \text{Output}\) If we think of a simple ...
