We like mechanical calculators like slide rules, but we have to admit that we had not heard of the Ott Derivimeter that [Chris Staecker] shows us in a recent video. As the name implies, the ...

Newspaper headlines are often filled with global issues such as climate change and the greenhouse effect, which naturally raise questions like: How can we model ...

The Calculus is made up of a few basic principles that anyone can understand. If looked at in the right way, it’s easy to apply these principles to the world around you and to see how the real world ...

The input argument fun refers to an IML module that specifies a function that returns f, a vector of length m for least-squares subroutines or a scalar for other optimization subroutines. The returned ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Let A and B be n × n matrices. We show that the matrix representing the linear transformation $X \mapsto ...

Proportional-integral-derivative (PID) is the most common industrial technology for closed-loop control. A proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller can be used to control temperature, ...

Let A → Ar be the map that takes a positive definite matrix to its rth power, and let DAr be the Fréchet derivative of this map. It is known that ∥DAr∥ = ∥rAr−1∥ if r ≤ 1 or if r ≥ 2, and also that ...
