Two near minimax norms for polynomial approximation are presented. They are designed for approximation of both a function and its first derivative uniformly by polynomials over a given finite interval ...
In the Introduction to the Derivative video we introduce the notion of the derivative of a function and explain how the derivative captures the instantaneous rate of change of a function. In the ...
Before being mortally wounded in a duel at age 20, Évariste Galois discovered the hidden structure of polynomial equations. By studying the relationships between their solutions — rather than the ...
