Read moreWhen do moments determine a function?
The use of the word “moment” in mathematics is related to its use in physics, as in moment arm or moment of inertia. For a non-negative integer n, the nth moment of a function f is the integral of xn over the function’s domain. Uniqueness If two continuous functions f
Read moreFloating point: Everything old is new again
In the early days of computing hardware (and actually before) mathematicians put a lot of effort into understanding and mitigating the limitations of floating point arithmetic. They would analyze mundane tasks such as adding a list of numbers and think carefully about the best way to carry out such tasks
