RELICENSING 126 4 CHAPTER 1 Numbers and Functions The subject of this course is \functions of one real variable" so we begin by wondering what a real number \really" is, and then, in the next section, what a function is. 1. What is a number? 1.1. Different kinds of numbers. The simplest numbers are the positive integers 1; 2; 3; 4; ··· the number zero 0; and the negative integers ··· ; −4; −3; −2; −1: Together these form the integers or \whole numbers." Next, there are the numbers you get by dividing one whole number by another (nonzero) whole number. These are the so called fractions or rational numbers such as 1 1 2 1 2 3 4 ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ··· 2 3 3 4 4 4 3 or 1 1 2 1 2 3 4 − ; − ; − ; − ; − ; − ; − ; ··· 2 3 3 4 4 4 3 By definition, any whole number is a rational number (in particular zero is a rational number.) You can add, subtract, multiply and divide any pair of rational numbers and the result will again be a rational number (provided you don't try to divide by zero). One day in middle school you were told that there are other numbers besides the rational numbers, and the first example of such a number is the square root of two. It has been known ever since the time of the m greeks that no rational number exists whose square is exactly 2, i.e. you can't find a fraction n such that m 2 = 2; i.e. m2 = 2n2: n Nevertheless, if you compute x2 for some values of x between 1 and 2, and check if you x x2 get more or less than 2, then it looks like there should be some number x between 1:4 and 1:2 1:44 1:5 whose square is exactly 2. So,p we assume that there is such a number, and we call it 1:3 1:69 the square root of 2, written as 2. This raises several questions. How do we know there 1:4 1:96 < 2 really is a number between 1:4 and 1:5 for which x2 = 2? How many other such numbers 1:5 2:25 > 2 are we going to assume into existence? Do these new numbers obey the same algebra rules 1:6 2:56 (likep a + b = b + a) as the rational numbers? If we knew precisely what these numbers (like 2) were then we could perhaps answer such questions. It turns out to be rather difficult to give a precise description of what a number is, and in this course we won't try to get anywhere near the bottom of this issue. Instead we will think of numbers as “infinite decimal expansions" as follows. One can represent certain fractions as decimal fractions, e.g. 279 1116 = = 11:16: 25 100 5 1 Not all fractions can be represented as decimal fractions. For instance, expanding 3 into a decimal fraction leads to an unending decimal fraction 1 = 0:333 333 333 333 333 ··· 3 1 It is impossible to write the complete decimal expansion of 3 because it contains infinitely many digits. But we can describe the expansion: each digit is a three. An electronic calculator, which always represents 1 numbers as finite decimal numbers, can never hold the number 3 exactly. Every fraction can be written as a decimal fraction which may or may not be finite. If the decimal expansion doesn't end, then it must repeat. For instance, 1 = 0:142857 142857 142857 142857 ::: 7 Conversely, any infinite repeating decimal expansion represents a rational number. A real number is specified by a possibly unending decimal expansion. For instance, p 2 = 1:414 213 562 373 095 048 801 688 724 209 698 078 569 671 875 376 9 ::: Of course you can never write all the digits in the decimal expansion, so you only write thep first few digits and hide the others behind dots. To give a precise description of a real number (such as 2) you have to explain how you could in principle compute as many digits in the expansion as you would like. During the next three semesters of calculus we will not go into the details of how this should be done. p 1.2. A reason to believe in 2. The Pythagorean theorem says that thep hy- potenuse of a right triangle with sides 1 and 1 must be a line segment of length 2. In middle or high school you learned somethingp similar to the following geometric construction of a line segment whose length is 2. Take a square with side of length 1, and construct a new square one of whose sides is the diagonal of the first square. The figure you get consists of 5 triangles of equal area and by counting triangles you see that the larger square has exactly twice the areap of the smaller square. Therefore the diagonal of the smaller square, being the side of the larger square, is 2 as long as the side of the smaller square.

  • Lesson 2: the Multiplication of Polynomials

    Lesson 2: the Multiplication of Polynomials

    NYS COMMON CORE MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM Lesson 2 M1 ALGEBRA II Lesson 2: The Multiplication of Polynomials Student Outcomes . Students develop the distributive property for application to polynomial multiplication. Students connect multiplication of polynomials with multiplication of multi-digit integers. Lesson Notes This lesson begins to address standards A-SSE.A.2 and A-APR.C.4 directly and provides opportunities for students to practice MP.7 and MP.8. The work is scaffolded to allow students to discern patterns in repeated calculations, leading to some general polynomial identities that are explored further in the remaining lessons of this module. As in the last lesson, if students struggle with this lesson, they may need to review concepts covered in previous grades, such as: The connection between area properties and the distributive property: Grade 7, Module 6, Lesson 21. Introduction to the table method of multiplying polynomials: Algebra I, Module 1, Lesson 9. Multiplying polynomials (in the context of quadratics): Algebra I, Module 4, Lessons 1 and 2. Since division is the inverse operation of multiplication, it is important to make sure that your students understand how to multiply polynomials before moving on to division of polynomials in Lesson 3 of this module. In Lesson 3, division is explored using the reverse tabular method, so it is important for students to work through the table diagrams in this lesson to prepare them for the upcoming work. There continues to be a sharp distinction in this curriculum between justification and proof, such as justifying the identity (푎 + 푏)2 = 푎2 + 2푎푏 + 푏 using area properties and proving the identity using the distributive property.

    Number Theory

    “mcs-ftl” — 2010/9/8 — 0:40 — page 81 — #87 4 Number Theory Number theory is the study of the integers. Why anyone would want to study the integers is not immediately obvious. First of all, what’s to know? There’s 0, there’s 1, 2, 3, and so on, and, oh yeah, -1, -2, . Which one don’t you understand? Sec- ond, what practical value is there in it? The mathematician G. H. Hardy expressed pleasure in its impracticality when he wrote: [Number theorists] may be justified in rejoicing that there is one sci- ence, at any rate, and that their own, whose very remoteness from or- dinary human activities should keep it gentle and clean. Hardy was specially concerned that number theory not be used in warfare; he was a pacifist. You may applaud his sentiments, but he got it wrong: Number Theory underlies modern cryptography, which is what makes secure online communication possible. Secure communication is of course crucial in war—which may leave poor Hardy spinning in his grave. It’s also central to online commerce. Every time you buy a book from Amazon, check your grades on WebSIS, or use a PayPal account, you are relying on number theoretic algorithms. Number theory also provides an excellent environment for us to practice and apply the proof techniques that we developed in Chapters 2 and 3. Since we’ll be focusing on properties of the integers, we’ll adopt the default convention in this chapter that variables range over the set of integers, Z. 4.1 Divisibility The nature of number theory emerges as soon as we consider the divides relation a divides b iff ak b for some k: D The notation, a b, is an abbreviation for “a divides b.” If a b, then we also j j say that b is a multiple of a.

    Imperial Valley College Math Lab Functions: Composition and Inverse Functions FUNCTION COMPOSITION In order to perform a composition of functions, it is essential to be familiar with function notation. If you see something of the form “푓(푥) = [expression in terms of x]”, this means that whatever you see in the parentheses following f should be substituted for x in the expression. This can include numbers, variables, other expressions, and even other functions. EXAMPLE: 푓(푥) = 4푥2 − 13푥 푓(2) = 4 ∙ 22 − 13(2) 푓(−9) = 4(−9)2 − 13(−9) 푓(푎) = 4푎2 − 13푎 푓(푐3) = 4(푐3)2 − 13푐3 푓(ℎ + 5) = 4(ℎ + 5)2 − 13(ℎ + 5) Etc. A composition of functions occurs when one function is “plugged into” another function. The notation (푓 ○푔)(푥) is pronounced “푓 of 푔 of 푥”, and it literally means 푓(푔(푥)). In other words, you “plug” the 푔(푥) function into the 푓(푥) function. Similarly, (푔 ○푓)(푥) is pronounced “푔 of 푓 of 푥”, and it literally means 푔(푓(푥)). In other words, you “plug” the 푓(푥) function into the 푔(푥) function. WARNING: Be careful not to confuse (푓 ○푔)(푥) with (푓 ∙ 푔)(푥), which means 푓(푥) ∙ 푔(푥) . EXAMPLES: 푓(푥) = 4푥2 − 13푥 푔(푥) = 2푥 + 1 a. (푓 ○푔)(푥) = 푓(푔(푥)) = 4[푔(푥)]2 − 13 ∙ 푔(푥) = 4(2푥 + 1)2 − 13(2푥 + 1) = [푠푚푝푙푓푦] … = 16푥2 − 10푥 − 9 b. (푔 ○푓)(푥) = 푔(푓(푥)) = 2 ∙ 푓(푥) + 1 = 2(4푥2 − 13푥) + 1 = 8푥2 − 26푥 + 1 A function can even be “composed” with itself: c.

    The Mean Value Theorem Math 120 Calculus I Fall 2015

    The Mean Value Theorem Math 120 Calculus I Fall 2015 The central theorem to much of differential calculus is the Mean Value Theorem, which we'll abbreviate MVT. It is the theoretical tool used to study the first and second derivatives. There is a nice logical sequence of connections here. It starts with the Extreme Value Theorem (EVT) that we looked at earlier when we studied the concept of continuity. It says that any function that is continuous on a closed interval takes on a maximum and a minimum value. A technical lemma. We begin our study with a technical lemma that allows us to relate 0 the derivative of a function at a point to values of the function nearby. Specifically, if f (x0) is positive, then for x nearby but smaller than x0 the values f(x) will be less than f(x0), but for x nearby but larger than x0, the values of f(x) will be larger than f(x0). This says something like f is an increasing function near x0, but not quite. An analogous statement 0 holds when f (x0) is negative. Proof. The proof of this lemma involves the definition of derivative and the definition of limits, but none of the proofs for the rest of the theorems here require that depth. 0 Suppose that f (x0) = p, some positive number. That means that f(x) − f(x ) lim 0 = p: x!x0 x − x0 f(x) − f(x0) So you can make arbitrarily close to p by taking x sufficiently close to x0.
  • Hegel on Calculus

    Hegel on Calculus

    HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY QUARTERLY Volume 34, Number 4, October 2017 HEGEL ON CALCULUS Ralph M. Kaufmann and Christopher Yeomans t is fair to say that Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel’s philosophy of Imathematics and his interpretation of the calculus in particular have not been popular topics of conversation since the early part of the twenti- eth century. Changes in mathematics in the late nineteenth century, the new set-theoretical approach to understanding its foundations, and the rise of a sympathetic philosophical logic have all conspired to give prior philosophies of mathematics (including Hegel’s) the untimely appear- ance of naïveté. The common view was expressed by Bertrand Russell: The great [mathematicians] of the seventeenth and eighteenth cen- turies were so much impressed by the results of their new methods that they did not trouble to examine their foundations. Although their arguments were fallacious, a special Providence saw to it that their conclusions were more or less true. Hegel fastened upon the obscuri- ties in the foundations of mathematics, turned them into dialectical contradictions, and resolved them by nonsensical syntheses. .The resulting puzzles [of mathematics] were all cleared up during the nine- teenth century, not by heroic philosophical doctrines such as that of Kant or that of Hegel, but by patient attention to detail (1956, 368–69). Recently, however, interest in Hegel’s discussion of calculus has been awakened by an unlikely source: Gilles Deleuze. In particular, work by Simon Duffy and Henry Somers-Hall has demonstrated how close Deleuze and Hegel are in their treatment of the calculus as compared with most other philosophers of mathematics.

    ARPREC: An Arbitrary Precision Computation Package David H. Bailey, Yozo Hida, Xiaoye S. Li and Brandon Thompson1 Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA 94720 Draft Date: 2002-10-14 Abstract This paper describes a new software package for performing arithmetic with an arbitrarily high level of numeric precision. It is based on the earlier MPFUN package [2], enhanced with special IEEE floating-point numerical techniques and several new functions. This package is written in C++ code for high performance and broad portability and includes both C++ and Fortran-90 translation modules, so that conventional C++ and Fortran-90 programs can utilize the package with only very minor changes. This paper includes a survey of some of the interesting applications of this package and its predecessors. 1. Introduction For a small but growing sector of the scientific computing world, the 64-bit and 80-bit IEEE floating-point arithmetic formats currently provided in most computer systems are not sufficient. As a single example, the field of climate modeling has been plagued with non-reproducibility, in that climate simulation programs give different results on different computer systems (or even on different numbers of processors), making it very difficult to diagnose bugs. Researchers in the climate modeling community have assumed that this non-reproducibility was an inevitable conse- quence of the chaotic nature of climate simulations. Recently, however, it has been demonstrated that for at least one of the widely used climate modeling programs, much of this variability is due to numerical inaccuracy in a certain inner loop. When some double-double arithmetic rou- tines, developed by the present authors, were incorporated into this program, almost all of this variability disappeared [12].
