However, at some point the quadratic formula begins to lose accuracy because of round off error, while the approximate method continues to improve. | ⵡⴰⵅⵅⴰ ⵀⴰⴽⴽⴰⴽ, ⴳ ⵢⴰⵜ ⵜⴼⵔⴽⵜ ⴷⴰ ⵜⵜⵓⵙⵏⵜⴰⵢ ⵜⴰⵍⵖⴰ ⵜⴰⵎⴽⴽⵓⵣⵜ ⵎⵉ ⵉⵜⵜⴰⵛⵛⴽⴰ ⵓⵏⵖⴰⴷ; ⵙ ⵓⵣⴳⵍ ⵏ ⵓⵙⵏⵎⵉⵍⴰ, ⵜⵙⵙⵓⴷⵓ ⵜⵖⴰⵔⴰⵙⵜ ⵏ ⵓⵙⵏⵎⵉⵍⴰ ⴳ ⵜⵉⵅⵅⵉⵜⵔⵜ. |
Methods of numerical approximation existed, called prosthaphaeresis, that offered shortcuts around time-consuming operations such as multiplication and taking powers and roots. | ⵍⵍⴰⵏⵜ ⵜⴱⵔⵉⴷⵉⵏ ⵏ ⵓⵙⵎⵉⵍⴰ ⴰⵎⵉⴹⴰⵏ ⴷⴰ ⴰⵙ ⵜⵜⵉⵏⵉⵏ ⵜⴰⵖⴰⵔⵜ ⵜⵉⵎⴽⵉⵙⵉⵜ ⵢⴰⴽⴽⴰⵏ ⵉⵙⴰⵏⴼⵏ ⵖⴼ ⵜⵉⴳⴳⵉⵜⵉⵏ ⵉⵜⵜⴰⵎⵥⵏ ⵜⵉⵣⵉ ⴽⵉⴳⴰⵏ, ⵣⵓⵏⴷ ⴰⵙⴼⵓⴽⵜⵉ ⴷ ⵢⵉⵙⵢ ⵏ ⵜⵣⵎⵔⵜ ⴷ ⵓⵣⵖⵕⴰⵏ. |
Computational algorithms for finding the solutions are an important part of numerical linear algebra, and play a prominent role in engineering, physics, chemistry, computer science, and economics. | ⵉⴼⵙⵙⴰⵢⵏ ⴳⴰⵏ ⴰⴳⵣⵣⵓⵎ ⵉⵙⵜⴰⵡⵀⵎⵎⴰⵏ ⴳ ⵍⵊⵉⴱⵔ ⵉⵣⵔⵉⵔⵉⴳ ⴰⵎⵉⴹⴰⵏ, ⴷ ⵖⵓⵔⵙ ⵜⴰⵡⵉⵍⴰ ⵎⵇⵇⵓⵔⵏ ⴳ ⵜⵏⵣⴳⵉⵜ ⴷ ⴼⵉⵣⵉⴽ ⴷ ⵛⵉⵎⵉ ⴷ ⵜⵓⵙⵏⴰⵎⵙⵙⵓⴷⵙⵜ ⴷ ⵜⴷⴰⵎⵙⴰ. |
For solutions in an integral domain like the ring of the integers, or in other algebraic structures, other theories have been developed, see Linear equation over a ring. | ⵉⵙⵎⴷ ⴰⵎⵎ ⵜⵅⵕⵙⵜ ⵏ ⵉⵎⴹⴰⵏ ⵉⵎⴷⴷⴰⴷⵏ, ⵏⵖⴷ ⴳ ⵜⴰⵏⵖⵉⵡⵉⵏ ⵏⵏⵉⴹⵏ ⵏ ⵍⵊⵉⴱⵔ, ⵜⵜⵓⵙⴱⵓⵖⵍⵍⴰⵏⵜ ⵜⵎⴰⴳⵓⵏⵉⵏ ⵢⴰⴹⵏ, ⵥⵕ ⵜⴰⴳⴷⴰⵣⴰⵍⵜ ⵜⴰⵣⵔⵉⵔⴳⵜ ⴰⴼⵍⵍⴰ ⵏ ⵜⵅⵕⵙⵜ. |
This allows all the language and theory of vector spaces (or more generally, modules) to be brought to bear. | ⵡⴰⴷ ⴰⵔ ⵉⵜⵜⴰⴷⵊⴰ ⴰⴷ ⵉⵜⵜⵓⴳ ⴽⴰ ⵉⴳⴰⵜ ⵜⵓⵜⵍⴰⵢⵜ ⴷ ⵜⵎⴰⴳⵓⵏⵜ ⵏ ⵉⵙⵜⵓⵎⵏ ⵏ ⵉⵎⵏⵉⴷⵏ ( ⵙ ⵓⵎⴰⵜⴰ ⵉⴼⵔⴷⴰⵙⵏ ⵓⵔⵙⵉⵍⵏ). |
Such a system is known as an underdetermined system. | ⵉⵜⵢⴰⵙⵙⵏ ⵓⵏⴳⵔⴰⵡ ⴰⴷ ⵙ ⵢⵉⵙⵎ ⵏ ⴰⵏⴳⵔⴰⵡ ⵓⵔ ⵉⵥⵍⵉⵢⵏ. |
The second system has a single unique solution, namely the intersection of the two lines. | ⴰⵏⴳⵔⴰⵡ ⵡⵉⵙⵙ ⵙⵉⵏ ⵖⴰⵔⵙ ⴰⴼⵙⵙⴰⵢ ⵉⵥⵍⵉⵏ ⵉⴳⴰⵏ ⴰⵎⵔⵊⴰⵍ ⵏ ⵉⵣⵔⵉⵔⵉⴳⵏ. |
Any two of these equations have a common solution. | ⴽⴰ ⵉⴳⴰⵜ ⵙⵏⴰⵜ ⵜⴳⴷⴰⵣⴰⵍⵉⵏ ⴳ ⵜⴳⴰⴷⴰⵣⴰⵍⵉⵏ ⴰⴷ ⵖⴰⵔⵙⵏⵜ ⴰⴼⵙⵙⴰⵢ ⵉⵛⵛⴰⵔⵏ. |
A system of equations whose left-hand sides are linearly independent is always consistent. | ⴰⵀⴰ ⴷⴰ ⵉⵜⴳⴳⴰ ⵓⵏⴳⵔⴰⵡ ⵏ ⵜⴳⴷⴰⵣⴰⵍⵉⵏ ⵏⵏⴰ ⵎⵉ ⵜⴳⴳⴰⵏⵜ ⵜⵙⴳⴳⵉⵏ ⵏⵏⵙ ⵜⵉⵥⵍⵎⴰⴹ ⵜⵉⵎⵥⵍⴰⵢ; ⴰⵣⵔⵉⵔⵉⴳ ⵉⵎⵣⴳⵉ. |
This yields a system of equations with one fewer equation and one fewer unknown. | ⴷⴰⴷ ⵢⴰⴽⴽⴰ ⵎⴰⵢⴰ ⴰⵏⴳⵔⴰⵡ ⵏ ⵜⴳⴷⴰⵣⴰⵍⵉⵏ ⴷⵉⴽⵙ ⵜⴰⴳⴷⴰⵣⴰⵍⵜ ⵢⴰⵣⴷⵓⵔⵏ, ⴷ ⵜⴰⵢⴹ ⵓⵔ ⵜⵢⴰⵙⵙⵏ. |

For instance, systems with a symmetric positive definite matrix can be solved twice as fast with the Cholesky decomposition. | ⵙ ⵓⵎⴷⵢⴰ, ⵉⵖⵢ ⴰⴷ ⵏⴼⵙⵉ ⵉⴳⵔⵔⴰⵢⵏ ⵉⵍⴰⵏ ⴰⴷⵓⵔⵏ ⵉⵎⵥⵍⴰⵢ ⵓⵎⵏⵉⴳⵏ ⵉⵏⴰⵡⴰⵢⵏ ⵙ ⵣⵣⵔⴰⴱⵉⵜ ⵜⴰⵙⴼⵜⴰⵢⵜ ⵙ ⵜⵙⵍⵟ ⵏⵜⵛⵓⵍⵉⵙⴽⵉ. |
A completely different approach is often taken for very large systems, which would otherwise take too much time or memory. | ⴷⴰ ⵡⴰⵍⴰ ⵉⵜⵜⵓⴹⴼⵓⵕ ⵓⵙⴰⵔⴰ ⴰⵎⵣⵉⵔⴰⵢ ⵉ ⵉⴳⵔⵔⴰⵢⵏ ⵎⵇⵇⵓⵔⵏ ⴽⵉⴳⴰⵏ, ⵏⵏⴰ ⵉⵜⵜⴻⵜⵜⵔⵏ ⴽⵉⴳⴰⵏ ⵏ ⵜⵉⵣⵉ ⵏⵖⴷ ⵜⵉⵎⴽⵜⵉⵜ. |
This leads to the class of iterative methods. | ⴰⵢⴰ ⴰⵔ ⵉⵜⵜⴰⵡⵢ ⵖⵔ ⵜⴳⵔⵔⵓⵎⴰ ⵏ ⵜⴱⵔⵉⴷⵉⵏ ⵢⵓⵍⵙⵏ. |
In mathematics, a series is, roughly speaking, a description of the operation of adding infinitely many quantities, one after the other, to a given starting quantity. | ⴳ ⵜⵓⵙⵏⴰⴽⵜ, ⵜⴳⴰ ⵜⴳⴼⴼⵓⵔⵜ ⵙ ⵜⴰⵍⵖⴰ ⵏ ⵓⵏⵎⵉⵍⵉ; ⴰⵙⵏⵓⵎⵍ ⵉ ⵜⵉⴳⴳⵉⵜ ⵏ ⵜⵓⵔⵏⵓⵜ ⵉⵡⵓⴷⵉⵢⵏ ⵡⴰⵔⵜⵎⵉ ⵉⴳⴳⵓⴷⵉⵏ, ⵢⴰⵜ ⴹⴰⵕⵜ ⵢⴰⵜ ⴰⵔ ⴰⴳⵓⴷⵉ ⵏ ⴽⴰⵏ ⵓⵙⵙⵏⵜⵉ. |
In addition to their ubiquity in mathematics, infinite series are also widely used in other quantitative disciplines such as physics, computer science, statistics and finance. | ⴷ ⵜⵓⵔⵏⵓⵜ ⵅⴼ ⵓⵏⵖⴰⵍ ⵏⵏⵙ ⴳ ⵜⵓⵙⵏⴰⴽⵜ, ⴷⴰ ⵜⵜⵓⵙⵎⵔⴰⵙⵏⵜ ⵜⵙⵏⵙⵍⵉⵏ ⵡⴰⵔⵜⵎⵉ ⴳ ⵓⴼⴰⵖⵓⵍ ⴰⴱⴰⵔⴰⵡ ⴳ ⵜⵥⵍⴰⵢⵉⵏ ⵏ ⵓⴳⵓⴷⵉⵢ ⵏⵏⵉⴷⵏ ⵣⵓⵏⴷ ⴼⵉⵣⵉⴽ ⴷ ⵜⵓⵙⵙⵏⴰⵎⵙⵙⵓⴷⵙ ⵜⴰⴷⴷⴰⴷⴰⵏⵜ ⴷ ⵓⵙⵙⵥⵕⴼ. |
Zeno's paradox of Achilles and the tortoise illustrates this counterintuitive property of infinite sums: Achilles runs after a tortoise, but when he reaches the position of the tortoise at the beginning of the race, the tortoise has reached a second position; when he reaches this second position, the tortoise is at a third position, and so on. | ⴷⴰ ⵜⵙⵙⴼⵔⵓ ⵜⵎⵣⴰⵔⴰⵢⵜ ⵏ ⵣⵉⵏⵓ ⴳⵔ ⴰⵅⵉⵍ ⴷ ⴽⴼⵔⵓⵏ ⵜⴰⵥⵍⴰⵢⵜ ⴰⴷ ⵉⵏⵎⵏ ⵖⴼ ⵡⴰⵜⵉⴳⵏ ⵡⴰⵔⵜⵎⵉ, ⴰⵅⵉⵍ ⵉⵜⵜⴰⵣⵍⴰ ⴹⴰⵕⵜ ⴽⴼⵔⵓⵏ, ⵎⴰⴽⴰ ⴰⴷⴷⴰⵢ ⵢⴰⵡⴹ ⴰⵏⵙⴰ ⵏ ⴽⴼⵔⵓⵏ ⴳ ⵜⵉⵣⵡⵉⵔⵉ ⵏ ⵓⵃⵎⵎⵣⵡⵓⵔ, ⴷⴰⵏ ⵉⵜⵜⴰⵡⴹ ⴽⴼⵔⵓⵏ ⴰⵙⵡⵉⵔ ⵡⵉⵙⵙ ⵙⵉⵏ, ⵉⴳⵏ ⵢⵓⵡⴹ ⵡⵉⵙⵙ ⵙⵉⵏ ⴷⴰ ⵜⵜⵉⵍⵉ ⴳ ⵡⵉⵙⵙ ⴽⵕⴰⴹ, ⴰⵔ ⵜⴷⴷⵓ. |
This argument does not prove that the sum is equal to 2 (although it is), but it does prove that it is at most 2. | ⵓⵔ ⴷⴰ ⵉⵣⵣⴳⴰ ⵡⴰⵏⵥⴰ ⵉⵙ ⵜⴰⴳ ⵜⵎⵓⵜⵜⵔⵜ ⵏⵏⵙ 2 (ⵡⴰⵅⵅⴰ ⵉⴳⴰ ⵉⵎⴽⵉⵏⵏⴰⵖ), ⵎⴰⵛⴰ ⴷⴰ ⵜⵣⵣⴳⴰ ⴷⴷⴰⵡ 2. |
Tests for uniform convergence include the Weierstrass' M-test, Abel's uniform convergence test, Dini's test, and the Cauchy criterion. | ⵙⵎⵓⵏⵏ ⵢⵉⵔⵉⵎⵏ ⵏ ⵓⵙⵏⵎⴰⵍⴰ ⵏ ⵓⵙⵙⵓⴷⵙ, ⵉⵔⵉⵎ ⵏ “ⵡⴰⵢⵔⵙⵜⵔⵉⵙ ⵎ Weierstrass' M-tes”, ⴷ ⵢⵉⵔⵉⵎ ⵏ ⵓⵙⵏⵎⴰⵍⴰ ⴰⵎⵢⵉⵡⵏ ⵉⵣⵍⵉⵏ ⵙ “ⴰⴱⵉⵍ Abel's” ⴷ “ ⴷⵉⵏⵉ Dini's” ⴷ ⴰⵏⴰⵡⴰⵢ “ⴽⵓⵛⵉ Cauchy ”. |
The convergence is uniform on closed and bounded (that is, compact) subsets of the interior of the disc of convergence: to wit, it is uniformly convergent on compact sets. | ⴰⵙⵏⵎⴰⵍⴰ ⴷⴰ ⵉⵜⵜⵓⵙⵓⴷⵙ ⴳ ⵜⵔⴰⴱⴱⵓⵜⵉⵏ ⵜⴰⵢⵢⴰⵡⵉⵏ ⵉⵇⵏⵏ ⴳⵉⵏⵜ ⵜⵉⵎⵥⴰⵍⵢ ( ⵉⴳ ⴳⴰⵏⵜ ⵜⵓⴷⴷⵉⵣⵉⵏ), ⴳ ⵜⴳⵣⵣⵓⵎⵜ ⵜⴰⴳⵏⵙⵓⵜ ⵏ ⴷⵉⵙⴽ ⵏ ⵓⵙⵏⵎⴰⵍⴰ: ⵉ ⵜⵉⵖⵉⵙⵜ, ⵉⵏⵎⴰⵍⴰ ⵙ ⵜⴰⵍⵖⴰ ⵉⵥⵍⵉⵏ ⴳ ⵜⵔⴰⴱⴱⵓⵜⵉⵏ ⵢⵓⴷⵔⵏ. |
The Hilbert–Poincaré series is a formal power series used to study graded algebras. | ⵜⴰⴳⴼⴼⵓⵔⵜ “ⵉⵍⴱⵉⵔ-ⴱⵡⴰⵏⴽⴰⵔⵉ Hilbert–Poincaré” ⵜⴳⴰ ⵜⴰⴳⴼⴼⵓⵔⵜ ⵜⵓⵏⵙⵉⴱⵜ ⵉⵜⵜⵓⵙⵎⵔⴰⵙⵏ ⴳ ⵜⵖⵓⵔⵉ ⵏ ⵍⵊⵉⴱⵔ ⴰⵎⴹⴼⵓⵕ. |
In the 17th century, James Gregory worked in the new decimal system on infinite series and published several Maclaurin series. | ⴳ ⵓⵙⴰⵜⵓ ⵡⵉⵙⵙ 17 ⵉⵙⵡⵓⵔⵉ “ⴳⵉⵎⵙ ⴳⵔⵉⴳⵓⵔⵉ James Gregory” ⴳ ⵓⵏⴳⵔⴰⵡ ⴰⵎⵔⴰⵡⴰⵏ ⴰⵎⴰⵢⵏⵓ; ⵖⴼ ⵜⴳⴼⴼⵓⵔⵜ ⵜⴰⵔⵜⵎⵉ, ⴷ ⵉⴼⵙⵔ ⴽⵉⴳⴰⵏ ⵏ ⵜⴳⴼⴼⵓⵔⵉⵏ ⵏ “ⵎⴰⴽⵍⵓⵔⵉⵏ Maclaurin”. |
Cauchy (1821) insisted on strict tests of convergence; he showed that if two series are convergent their product is not necessarily so, and with him begins the discovery of effective criteria. | ⵉⵙⴷⴷⵉⴷ “ⴽⵓⵛⵉ” (1821) ⵖⴼ ⵢⵉⵔⵉⵎⵏ ⵉⵏⵎⴰⵍⴰⵏⴻⵏ ⵓⵇⵊⵉⵔⵏ, ⵉⵙⵙⴰⴽⵣ ⵉⴳ ⵎⵎⵍⵎⴰⵍⴰⵏⵜ ⵙⵏⴰⵜ ⵜⴳⴼⴼⵓⵔⵉⵏ ⴰⵎⵥⴰⵔⴰⵡ ⵏⵏⵙ ⵓⵔ ⵉⴷ ⵛⵛⵉⵍ ⴰⵙ ⴰⴷ ⵎⴰⵢⴰⵏ, ⴰⵔ ⵉⴷⵙ ⵜⵜⵓⵙⵏⵜⴰⵢ ⵜⵓⴼⴰⵢⵜ ⵏ ⵉⵏⴰⵡⴰⵢⵏ ⵉⵎⵕⵡⵉⵜⵏ. |
A summability method is such an assignment of a limit to a subset of the set of divergent series which properly extends the classical notion of convergence. | ⵜⴰⵖⴰⵔⴰⵙⵜ ⵏ ⵓⵙⵎⵓⵏ ⵜⴳⴰ ⵉⴽⵣ ⴰⵡⵜⵜⵓ ⵉ ⵜⵔⴰⴱⴱⵓⵜ ⵜⴰⵢⵢⴰⵡⵜ ⵏ ⵜⵔⴰⴱⴱⵓⵜ ⵏ ⵜⴳⴼⴼⵓⵔⵉⵏ ⵉⵎⵎⵄⵔⴰⵇⵏ, ⵉⵜⵜⴰⵏⴼⵏ ⵙ ⵜⴰⵍⵖⴰ ⵜⴰⵎⴷⴷⴰⴷⵜ ⴰⵔⵎⵎⵓⵙ ⴰⴽⵍⴰⵙⵉⴽⵉ ⵏ ⵜⵏⵎⵉⵍⴰ. |
Indian scholars have been using factorial formulas since at least the 12th century. | ⴷⴰ ⵙⵙⵎⵔⴰⵙⵏ ⵉⵎⴰⵙⵙⵏ ⵉⵀⵉⵏⴷⵉⵢⵏ ⵜⴰⵍⵖⵉⵡⵉⵏ ⵏ ⵉⵎⴳⴳⵓⵜⵏ ⵙⴳ ⵓⵙⴰⵜⵓ ⵡⵉⵙⵙ 12. |
In functional languages, the recursive definition is often implemented directly to illustrate recursive functions. | ⴳ ⵜⵓⵜⵍⴰⵢⵉⵏ ⵜⵉⵙⵖⵏⴰⵏ, ⴷⴰ ⵡⴰⵍⴰ ⵉⵜⵜⵓⴳⴰ ⵙ ⵡⵓⵙⵔⵉⴷ ⵓⵙⵉⵙⵙⵏ ⴰⵎⴰⵖⵓⵍ, ⵎⴰⵔ ⴰⴷ ⵉⵙⵙⴼⵔⵓ ⵜⵉⵙⵖⵏⴰ ⵏ ⵜⵎⴰⵖⵓⵍⵜ. |
Other implementations (such as computer software such as spreadsheet programs) can often handle larger values. | ⵖⵉⵏⵜ ⵜⵙⵏⵙⵉⵜⵉⵏ ⵢⴰⴹⵏ (ⵣⵓⵏⴷ ⵉⵖⴰⵡⴰⵙⵏ ⵏ ⵓⵎⵙⵙⵓⴷⵙ ⵣⵓⵏⴷ ⵉⵖⴰⵡⴰⵙⵏ ⵏ ⵉⵙⵎⵢⴰⵍⵍⴰⵢⵏ ⵏ ⵉⵙⵎⵎⴰⵍⵏ) ⴰⵙⵎⴽⴷ ⵏ ⵜⵉⵏⴷⵉⵜⵉⵏ ⵜⵉⵅⴰⵜⴰⵔⵉⵏ ⴳ ⴽⵉⴳⴰⵏ ⵏ ⵡⴰⴷⴷⴰⴷⵏ. |
Compared to the Pickover definition of the superfactorial, the hyperfactorial grows relatively slowly. | ⵙ ⵓⵣⵎⵣⴰⵣⴰⵍ ⵏ ⵓⵙⵉⵙⵙⵏ ⴱⵉⴽⵓⴼⵔ ⵏ ⵓⵎⵙⵡⵓⵔ ⴰⵎⴰⴳⵓⵔ, ⴷⴰ ⵉⵜⵜⵓⴳⵎ ⵓⵎⵙⵡⵓⵔ ⵏ ⵓⵙⵉⴳⵣ ⵏ ⵜⵉⵍⴰⵍ ⵙ ⵜⵉⵎⵎⵉⵙⵖⵜ. |
There are, relatively speaking, no such simple solutions for factorials; no finite combination of sums, products, powers, exponential functions, or logarithms will suffice to express ; but it is possible to find a general formula for factorials using tools such as integrals and limits from calculus. | ⵙ ⵜⵎⵉⵙⵖⵜ ⵓⵔ ⵍⵍⵉⵏ ⵉⴼⵙⵙⴰⵢⵏ ⵓⵏⵣⵉⵍⵏ ⵉ ⵉⵎⴳⴳⵉⵜⵏ, ⵓⵔ ⵜⴳⵉ ⵜⵔⴰⴱⴱⵓⵜ ⵏ ⵡⴰⵜⵉⴳⵏ ⵜⵓⵥⵍⵉⵢⵜ ⵏⵖⴷ ⵉⵙⵏⴼⵍⵓⵍⵏ ⵏⵖⴷ ⵜⵉⵣⵎⴰⵔ ⵏⵖⴷ ⵜⵉⵎⵔⵙⵉⵏ ⵜⴰⴳⴳⴰⴹⵉⵏ ⵏⵖⴷ ⵍⵓⴳⴰⵔⵉⵜⵎ ⵙ ⵏⵔⴰ ⴰⴷ ⵖⵉⴼⵙ ⵏⵙⵉⵡⵍ, ⵎⴰⴽⴰ ⵏⵖⵢ ⴰⴷ ⵏⴰⴼ ⵜⴰⵍⵖⴰ ⵜⴰⵎⴰⵜⵜⵓⵜ ⵉ ⵓⵎⵙⴼⵓⴽⵜⵉ ⵙ ⵓⵙⵙⵎⵔⵙ ⵏ ⵉⵙⴳⴳⵓⵔⵏ ⴰⵎⵎ ⵉⵎⵣⴷⴰⵢⵏ ⴷ ⵉⵡⵜⵜⴰ ⵉ ⵓⵙⵙⵉⵟⵏ ⴰⵎⵢⵓⴼ ⴷ ⴰⵎⵙⵎⴷ. |
The integrals we have discussed so far involve transcendental functions, but the gamma function also arises from integrals of purely algebraic functions. | ⵜⵉⵎⵙⵎⴰⴷⵉⵏ ⵅⴼ ⵏⵎⵔⴰⵔⴰ ⴰⵡⴰⵍ ⴰⴷ ⴷⵖⵉ ⵓⵡⵉⵏⴷ ⵜⵉⵎⵔⵙⵉⵜⵉⵏ ⵢⴰⵜⵜⵓⵢⵏ, ⵎⴰⴽⴰ ⵜⴰⵎⵔⵙⵜ ⵏ ⴳⴰⵎⴰ ⵜⵜⵡⴰⵙⴽⴰⵔ ⴰⵡⴷ ⵏⵜⵜⴰⵜ ⴳ ⵜⵎⵙⵎⴰⴷⵉⵏ ⵏ ⵜⵎⵔⵙⵜ ⵏ ⵍⵊⵉⴱⵔ ⵉⴷⵓⵙⵏ. |
By taking limits, certain rational products with infinitely many factors can be evaluated in terms of the gamma function as well. | ⵙⴳ ⵢⵉⵙⵢ ⵏ ⵉⵡⵜⵜⴰ, ⵏⵖⵢ ⴰⴷ ⵏⴳ ⴰⵙⵜⴰⵍ ⵉ ⵉⵜⵙⵏ ⵉⵙⵏⴼⵍⵓⵍⵏ ⵓⵎⴳⵉⵏ, ⴳ ⵉⵍⵍⴰ ⵉⵎⵉⴹ ⵡⴰⵔⵜⵎⵉ ⵏ ⵉⴼⴰⵜⵔⵏ ⵙⴳ ⵜⵎⵔⵙⵜ ⵏ ⴳⴰⵎⴰ. |
Its history, notably documented by Philip J. Davis in an article that won him the 1963 Chauvenet Prize, reflects many of the major developments within mathematics since the 18th century. | ⴷⴰ ⵢⴰⴽⴽⴰ ⵓⵎⵣⵔⵓⵢ ⵏⵏⵙ ⵏⵏⴰ ⵢⴰⵔⵓ ⴼⵉⵍⵉⴱ ⵊ. ⴷⵉⴼⵉⵙ, ⴳ ⵓⵎⴳⵔⴰⴷ ⵢⵓⵡⵉⵏ ⵜⴰⵙⵎⵖⵔⵜ ⵏ ⵛⵓⴼⵉⵏⵉ ⴱⵔⵉⵣ ⴰⵙⴳⴳⵯⴰⵙ ⵏ1963, ⴽⵉⴳⴰⵏ ⵏ ⵉⵙⴱⵓⵖⵍⵓⵜⵏ ⵉⴷⵙⵍⴰⵏ ⴳ ⵜⵓⵙⵏⴰⴽⵜ ⵙⴳ ⵓⵙⴰⵜⵓ 18. |
Instead of finding a specialized proof for each formula, it would be desirable to have a general method of identifying the gamma function. | ⵅⴼ ⴰⴷ ⵉⵜⵢⴰⴼ ⵓⵏⵎⵎⴰⵍ ⵉⵥⵍⵉⵏ ⵉ ⴽⴰ ⵉⴳⴰⵜ ⵜⴰⴳⴷⴰⵣⴰⵍⵜ, ⵢⵓⴼ ⴰⴷ ⴷⴰⵔⴽ ⵜⵉⵍⵉ ⵜⴱⵔⵉⴷⵜ ⵜⴰⵎⴰⵜⵜⵓⵜ ⵏ ⵢⵉⴼ ⵏ ⵜⵎⵔⵙⵜ ⵏ ⴳⴰⵎⴰ. |
However, the gamma function does not appear to satisfy any simple differential equation. | ⵡⴰⵅⵅⴰ ⵀⴰⴽⴽⴰⴽ ⵜⴰⵎⵔⵙⵜ ⵏ ⴳⴰⵎⴰ ⴷⴰ ⵜⵎⵙⴰⵙⴰ ⴷ ⴽⴰ ⵉⴳⴰⵜ ⵜⴰⴳⴷⴰⵣⴰⵍⵜ ⵜⴰⵎⵢⴰⴼⵜ ⵜⵓⵏⵣⵉⵍⵜ. |
The Bohr–Mollerup theorem is useful because it is relatively easy to prove logarithmic convexity for any of the different formulas used to define the gamma function. | ⵜⴰⵎⴰⴳⵓⵏⵜ ⵏ ⴱⵓⵔⵀ-ⵎⵓⵍⵉⵔⵓ ⵜⵓⴱⵖⵉⵔⵜ, ⴰⵛⴽⵓ ⵉⵡⵀⵏ ⴰⴷ ⵉⵜⵜⵓⵡⵔ ⵡⵓⴹⵓ ⴰⵍⵓⴳⴰⵔⵉⵜⵎⵉ ⵉ ⴽⴰ ⵉⴳⴰⵜ ⵜⴰⵍⵖⵉⵡⵉⵏ ⵉⵎⵣⴰⵔⴰⵢⵏ ⵉⵜⵜⵓⵙⵎⵔⴰⵙⵏ ⵎⴰⵔ ⴰⴷ ⵏⵙⵜⵉ ⵜⴰⵎⵔⵙⵜ ⵏ ⴳⴰⵎⴰ. |
As electronic computers became available for the production of tables in the 1950s, several extensive tables for the complex gamma function were published to meet the demand, including a table accurate to 12 decimal places from the U.S. National Bureau of Standards. | ⴷⴷⴰ ⴳ ⴳⴰⵏ ⵉⵏⴳⵎⴰⵎⵏ ⵏ ⵓⵎⵙⵙⵓⴷⵙ ⵉⵍⵉⴽⵜⵔⵓⵏⵉ ⵡⵉⵏ ⵓⵙⵏⴼⵍ ⵏ ⵉⵎⵢⴰⵍⵍⴰⵢⵏ ⴳ 1950, ⵜⵜⵢⴰⴼⵙⴰⵔⵏ ⴽⵉⴳⴰⵏ ⵏ ⵉⵙⵏⵎⴰⵍⵍⴰⵢⵏ ⵉⵙⵎⴰⵏ ⵜⴰⵎⵔⵙⵜ ⵏ ⴳⴰⵎⴰ ⵉⵛⵇⵇⴰⵏ ⵎⴰⵔ ⴰⴷ ⵜⵜⵓⴳ ⵜⵓⵜⵜⵔⴰ, ⴳ ⵢⴰⵎⵓ ⵢⴰⵏ ⵓⵙⵏⵎⴰⵍⵍⴰⵢ ⴰⵎⵖⴷⴰⵏ ⵏ 12 ⵏ ⵜⵓⵣⵓⵏⵜ ⵜⴰⵎⵔⴰⵡⵜ, ⵙⴳ ⵖⵓⵔ ⵓⵙⵉⵔⴰ ⴰⵏⴰⵡⴰⵢ ⴰⵏⴰⵎⵓⵔ ⴰⵎⵉⵔⵉⴽⴰⵏⵉ. |
In science, a formula is a concise way of expressing information symbolically, as in a mathematical formula or a chemical formula. | ⴳ ⵜⵓⵙⵏⴰ, ⵜⴰⴳⴷⴰⵣⴰⵍⵜ ⵜⴳⴰ ⵜⴰⴱⵔⵉⴷⵜ ⵉⵙⴰⵏⴼⵏ ⵏ ⵓⵙⵉⵡⵍ ⵖⴼ ⵉⵏⵖⵎⵉⵙⵏ ⵙ ⵜⴰⵍⵖⴰ ⵜⴰⵎⴰⵜⴰⵔⵜ, ⵉⵎⴽ ⵉⵍⵍⴰⵏ ⴳ ⵜⴰⵍⵖⴰ ⵜⵓⵙⵏⴰⴽⵜ ⴷ ⵜⴰⵍⵖⴰ ⵏ ⵛⵉⵎⵉ. |
In mathematics, a formula generally refers to an identity which equates one mathematical expression to another, with the most important ones being mathematical theorems. | ⴳ ⵜⵓⵙⵏⴰⴽⵜ ⴷ ⵜⵎⵎⴰⵍ ⵜⴰⵍⵖⴰ ⵙ ⵓⵎⴰⵜⴰ ⵜⴰⵎⴰⴳⵉⵜ ⵉⴳⴰⵏ ⴰⵙⵉⵡⵍ ⵏ ⵜⵓⵙⵏⴰⴽⵜ ⵢⴰⴹⵏ, ⵙⵜⴰⵡⵀⵎⵎⴰⵏⵜ ⴷⵉⴽⵙ ⵜⵎⴰⴳⵓⵏⵉⵏ ⵏ ⵜⵓⵙⵏⴰⴽⵜ. |
This convention, while less important in a relatively simple formula, means that mathematicians can more quickly manipulate formulas which are larger and more complex. | ⵜⴰⵎⵢⴰⵇⵇⴰⵏⵜ ⴰⴷ ⵎⵇⵇⴰⵔ ⵓⵔ ⵡⴰⵍⴰ ⵜⵙⵜⴰⵡⵀⵎⵎⴰ ⴳ ⵜⴰⵍⵖⴰ ⵜⴰⵎⵏⵣⴰⵍⵜ, ⴷⴰ ⵜⵜⵉⵏⵉ ⵉⵙ ⵉⵎⵓⵙⵏⴰⵡⵏ ⵏ ⵜⵓⵙⵏⴰⴽⵜ ⵖⵉⵏ ⴰⴷ ⵜⵎⵛⴰⵛⴽⴰⵏ ⵙ ⴽⵉⴳⴰⵏ ⵏ ⵓⵙⵔⴱⵉ ⴰⴽⴷ ⵜⴰⵍⵖⵉⵡⵉⵏ ⵜⵉⵅⴰⵜⴰⵔⵉⵏ ⴷ ⵜⵉⵏⵏⴰ ⵡⴰⵍⴰ ⵉⵛⵇⵇⴰⵏ. |
For example, H2O is the chemical formula for water, specifying that each molecule consists of two hydrogen (H) atoms and one oxygen (O) atom. | ⵙ ⵓⵎⴷⵢⴰ, H2O ⵜⴳⴰ ⵜⴰⵍⵖⴰ ⵜⴰⴽⵉⵎⵉⵢⵜ ⵏ ⵡⴰⵎⴰⵏ ⵏⵏⴰ ⵉⵙⵜⵜⵉⵏ ⵉⴷ ⴽⵓ ⵉⵎⵉⴽ ⴷⵉⴽⵙ ⵙⵏⴰⵜ ⵜⴱⵍⴽⵉⵎⵉⵏ ⵏ ⵀⵉⴷⵔⵓⵊⵉⵏ (H) ⴷ ⵜⴱⵍⴽⵉⵎⵜ ⵏ ⵓⴽⵙⵉⵊⵉⵏ (O). |
In empirical formulas, these proportions begin with a key element and then assign numbers of atoms of the other elements in the compound—as ratios to the key element. | ⴳ ⵜⴰⵍⵖⵉⵡⵉⵏ ⵏ ⵜⵉⵔⵎⵉⵜ, ⴷⴰ ⵜⵜⵓⵙⵏⵜⴰⵢⵏⵜ ⵜⵙⵖⴰⵍⵉⵏ ⴰⴷ ⵙ ⵓⴷⵕⴹⵉⵚ ⴰⴷⵙⵍⴰⵏ ⴷ ⴰⵔ ⵜⵙⵜⵜⵉⵢ ⵎⵏⵏⴰⵡⵜ ⵏ ⵜⴱⵍⴽⵉⵎⵉⵏ ⵏ ⵉⴼⵕⴹⵉⵚⵏ ⵢⴰⴹⵏ ⴳ ⵜⴰⵏⴰⵡⵜ, ⵉⴳⴰⵏ ⵉⵙⵖⴰⵍⵏ ⵏ ⵓⴼⵕⴹⵉⵚ ⴰⴷⵙⵍⴰⵏ. |
Some types of ionic compounds, however, cannot be written as empirical formulas which contains only the whole numbers. | ⵡⴰⵅⵅⴰ ⵀⴰⴽⴽⴰⴽ, ⵓⵔ ⵏⵣⴹⴰⵕ ⴷ ⵏⵓⵔⵓ ⵉⵜⵙⵏ ⵡⴰⵏⴰⵡⵏ ⵏ ⵜⵓⴷⴷⵉⵙⵉⵏ ⵜⴰⵢⵢⵓⵏⵉⵏ ⴰⴷ ⴳⵉⵏⵜ ⵜⴰⵍⵖⵉⵡⵉⵏ ⵏ ⵜⵉⵔⵎⵉⵜ ⴳ ⵍⵍⴰⵏ ⵉⵎⴹⴰⵏ ⵉⵎⴷⴷⴰⴷⵏ ⴷⴰⵢ. |
There are several types of these formulas, including molecular formulas and condensed formulas. | ⵍⵍⴰⵏ ⴽⵉⴳⴰⵏ ⵏ ⵡⴰⵏⴰⵡⵏ ⴳ ⵜⴰⵍⵖⵉⵡⵉⵏ ⴰⴷ ⴳ ⵜⴰⵎⵓ ⵜⴰⵍⵖⵉⵡⵉⵏ ⵜⵉⴳⵣⵣⵓⵎⵉⵏ ⴷ ⵜⴰⵍⵖⵉⵡⵉⵏ ⵜⴰⵏⵥⵥⵉⵡⵉⵏ. |
Functions were originally the idealization of how a varying quantity depends on another quantity. | ⵜⵉⵡⵓⵔⵉⵡⵉⵏ ⴳ ⵓⵥⵓⵕ ⵏⵏⵙⵏⵜ ⴳⴰⵏⵜ ⵜⴰⵙⴼⵉⵍⴰⵡⵜ ⵏ ⵎⴰⵎⵏⴽ ⵙⵏⵣⵖⵣⴰⵏ ⵜⴰⵎⴰⴽⵜⴰ ⵜⴰⵎⵙⵏⴼⵍⵜ ⵖⴼ ⵜⵎⴰⴽⵜⴰ ⵏⵏⵉⴹⵏ. |

When the domain and the codomain are sets of real numbers, each such pair may be thought of as the Cartesian coordinates of a point in the plane. | ⴰⴷⴷⴰⵢ ⵉⴳ ⵢⵉⴳⵔ ⴷ ⵢⵉⴳⵔ ⵉⵛⵛⴰⵔⵏ ⵜⴰⵔⴱⵉⵄⵜ ⵏ ⵉⵎⴹⴰⵏ ⵏ ⵜⵉⴷⵜ, ⵉⵖⵢ ⴰⴷ ⵉⴳ ⵓⵏⴰⵔⴰⴳ ⴳ ⵉⵏⴰⵔⴰⴳⵏ ⴰⴷ ⵜⵉⵎⵉⵜⴰⵔ ⵜⵉⴷⵉⴽⴰⵔⵜⵉⵢⵢⵉⵏ ⵏ ⵜⵏⵇⵇⵉⴹⵜ ⴳ ⵓⵖⴰⵡⴰⵙ. |
Occasionally, it may be identified with the function, but this hides the usual interpretation of a function as a process. | ⴳ ⵜⵉⵣⵉ ⵖⵔ ⵜⴰⵢⴹ, ⵉⵖ ⴰⴷ ⵜⵜⵓⵙⵜⵢ ⴰⴽⴷ ⵜⵡⵓⵔⵉ, ⵎⴰⴽⴰ ⴰⵢⴰ ⴷⴰ ⵉⴷⴷⴰⵍ ⴰⴼⵙⵙⴰⵢ ⵢⴰⴷ ⵉⵍⵍⴰⵏ ⵉ ⵜⵡⵓⵔⵉ ⴰⵎⵎ ⵜⵉⵣⵉⴳⵣⵜ. |
A map can have any set as its codomain, while, in some contexts, typically in older books, the codomain of a function is specifically the set of real or complex numbers. | ⵉⵖ ⴰⴷ ⵢⵉⵍⵉ ⴳ ⵜⴽⴰⵕⴹⴰ ⴽⴰ ⵉⴳⴰⵜ ⵜⴰⵔⴰⴱⴱⵓⵜ ⴰⴼⵓⵖⴰⵍ ⴰⵎⴰⵜⴰⵔ ⵏⵏⵙ, ⵎⴰⴽⴰ ⴳ ⵉⵜⵙⵏ ⵉⵙⴰⵜⵉⵍⵏ, ⵡⴰⵍⴰ ⴳ ⵉⴷⵍⵉⵙⵏ ⵉⵇⴱⵓⵔⵏ, ⴷⴰ ⵉⵜⴳⴳⴰ ⵢⵉⴳⵔ ⵜⴰⵎⴰⵜⴰⵔⵜ ⵏ ⵜⵡⵓⵔⵉ, ⵏⵜⵜⴰ ⵏⵏⵉⴽ ⵙ ⵓⵥⵍⴰⵢ; ⵜⴰⵔⴰⴱⴱⵓⵜ ⵏ ⵉⵎⴹⴰⵏ ⵜⵉⴷⵜ ⵏⵖⴷ ⵓⴷⴷⵉⵙⵏ. |
Another common example is the error function. | ⴰⵎⴷⵢⴰ ⵢⴰⴷⵏ ⵉⵜⵢⴰⴼⵙⴰⵔⵏ; ⵜⴰⵏⴰⵎⴽⴰⵏⵜ ⵉⵣⴳⵍⵏ. |
Power series can be used to define functions on the domain in which they converge. | ⵉⵖⵢ ⴰⴷ ⵏⵙⵡⵓⵔⵉ ⵙ ⵜⴳⴼⴼⵓⵔⵜ ⵏ ⵜⵣⴹⴰⵕⵜ ⵎⴰⵔ ⴰⴷ ⵏⵙⵜⵉ ⵜⵉⵡⵓⵔⵉⵡⵉⵏ ⴳ ⵢⵉⴳⵔ ⴳ ⵎⵎⵍⵎⴰⵍⴰⵏⵜ. |
Then, the power series can be used to enlarge the domain of the function. | ⴹⴰⵕⵜ ⵓⵢⵏⵏⴰⵖ ⵏⵖⵢ ⴰⴷ ⵏⵙⵡⵓⵔⵉ ⵙ ⵜⴳⴼⴼⵓⵔⵜ ⵏ ⵜⵣⴹⴰⵕⵜ ⵎⴰⵔ ⴰⴷ ⵏⵙⵅⵉⵜⵔ ⵉⴳⵔ ⵏ ⵜⵡⵓⵔⵉ. |

Prior to Napier's invention, there had been other techniques of similar scopes, such as the prosthaphaeresis or the use of tables of progressions, extensively developed by Jost Bürgi around 1600. | ⴷⴰⵜ ⵏ ⴰⴷ ⵉⵜⵜⵓⵀⵢⵢⴰ “ⵏⴰⴱⵉⵔ”, ⵍⵍⴰⵏ ⵜⵉⴽⵏⵉⵜⵉⵏ ⵏⵏⵉⴹⵏ ⵉⵍⴰⵏ ⵉⵖⵓⴼⴰⵍⵏ ⴰⵎ ⵡⵉ, ⵣⵓⵏⴷ “ⵜⵉⵎⵍⵙⵉⵜ”, ⵏⵖⴷ ⴰⵙⵙⵎⵔⵙ ⵏ ⵉⵙⵎⵢⴰⵍⵍⴰⵏⴻⵏ ⵏ ⵜⵉⴹⴼⵓⵔⵜ, ⵏⵏⴰ ⵉⵙⴱⵓⵖⵍⵍⴰ ⵊⵓⵙⵜ ⴱⵓⵔⵊⵉ ⴳ ⵓⵖⵓⴼⴰⵍ ⴰⴱⴰⵔⴰⵡ ⴰⵜⵜⴰⵢⵏ ⵏ ⵓⵙⴳⴳⵯⴰⵙ ⵏ1600. |
Speaking of a number as requiring so many figures is a rough allusion to common logarithm, and was referred to by Archimedes as the “order of a number”. | ⵉⴳ ⴷⴰ ⵏⵙⴰⵡⴰⵍ ⵖⴼ ⵡⵓⵟⵟⵓⵏ ⵉⵔⴰⵏ ⴽⵉⴳⴰⵏ ⵏ ⵡⵓⵟⵟⵓⵏ, ⵜⴳⴰ ⵜⴰⵎⴰⵜⴰⵔⵜ ⵏ ⵓⵏⵎⵉⵍⴰ ⵖⵔ ⵍⵓⴳⴰⵔⵉⵜⵎ ⴰⵎⵛⵛⵓⵔ,ⵉⵎⴽ ⵣⴰⵕⵙ ⵉⵏⵄⵜ ⴰⵔⵅⵎⵉⴷ ⵉⴷ ⵏⵜⵜⴰ ⴰⵢⴷ ⵉⴳⴰⵏ “ⴰⵙⵙⵓⴷⵙ ⵏ ⵡⵓⵟⵟⵓⵏ”. |
