The Calculus Diaries: How Math Can Help You Lose Weight, Win in Vegas, and Survive a Zombie Apocalypse

Kiss My Math meets A travel of the Calculus

Jennifer Ouellette by no means took math in collage, commonly simply because she-like so much people-assumed that she wouldn't desire it in actual lifestyles. yet then the English-major-turned-award-winning-science-writer had a metamorphosis of center and made up our minds to revisit the equations and formulation that had haunted her for years. The Calculus Diaries is the joys and interesting account of her 12 months spent confronting her math phobia head on. With wit and verve, Ouellette indicates how she discovered to use calculus to every little thing from fuel mileage to food plan, from the rides at Disneyland to taking pictures craps in Vegas-proving that even the mathematically challenged can research the basics of the common language.

A Course in Multivariable Calculus and Analysis (Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics)

This self-contained textbook supplies a radical exposition of multivariable calculus. it may be seen as a sequel to the one-variable calculus textual content, A path in Calculus and actual research, released within the comparable sequence. The emphasis is on correlating common suggestions and result of multivariable calculus with their opposite numbers in one-variable calculus.

Partial Differential Equations V: Asymptotic Methods for Partial Differential Equations (Encyclopaedia of Mathematical Sciences) (v. 5)

The six articles during this EMS quantity supply an outline of a few modern ideas within the examine of the asymptotic habit of partial differential equations. those thoughts contain the Maslov canonical operator, semiclassical asymptotics of options and eigenfunctions, habit of strategies close to singular issues of alternative forms, matching of asymptotic expansions on the subject of a boundary layer, and strategies in inhomogeneous media.

The characteristic function μ(k) ˆ = E eikY = eikx μ(dx) = eikx F (dx) = eikx f (x) dx = fˆ(−k) is related to the Fourier transform (FT) by an obvious change of sign. 11) for moments. 14) for derivatives. See the details and the end of this section for more information. We say that (the distribution of) Y is infinitely divisible if Y X1 + · · · + Xn for every positive integer n, where (Xn ) are independent and identically distributed (iid) random variables. If Xn μn , then we also have μ(k) ˆ = E[eikY ] = E[eik(X1 +···+Xn ) ] = E[eikX1 ] · · · E[eikXn ) ] = μˆ n (k)n since X1 , .

If the pdf f (x) = F (x) exists, then we can define the probability measure b μ(a, b] = P[a < Y ≤ b] = a f (x) dx, 54 Chapter 3 Stable Limit Distributions and the characteristic function μ(k) ˆ = eikx f (x) dx. , if P[Y = xk ] > 0 for some real numbers xk , then F (xk ) > F (xk −) and the cumulative distribution function is not continuous, so it is certainly not differentiable. Then the pdf cannot exist at every x ∈ R. In this case, the characteristic function μ(k) ˆ = E eikY = eikx μ(dx) = eikx F (dx) is defined using the Lebesgue integral with respect to the probability measure μ, or equivalently, the Lebesgue-Stieltjes integral with respect to the cumulative distribution function F (x).

182]. 8): ∂p ∂2p ∂p ∂ −D =D 2 =− ∂t ∂x ∂x ∂x assuming D is a constant independent of x. 9) can be understood in terms of the Grünwald formula. 1. The fractional Fick’s Law for the flux allows particles to jump into the box at location x from a box at location x − jΔx. The proportion of particles that make a jump this long drops off as a power of the separation distance. See Schumer et al. [182] for more details. 10) which leads to the same fractional diffusion equation ∂p ∂p ∂ α−1 ∂αp = − α−1 −D = D α, ∂t ∂x ∂x ∂x see Meerschaert, Mortensen and Wheatcraft [129] for additional details.
