Numerical methods for calculation of integrals

Publicerat den april 27, 2012 av mattelararen

For many functions it is impossible to find a primtive function and therefore it is impossible to use the fundamental theorem of calculus to solve the integral. Luckily there are ways to cope with such circumstances with the aid of … Fortsätt läsa →

Vector algebra-adding and subtacting vectors

Publicerat den april 21, 2012 av mattelararen

The mass of your body is a measure of the amount of matter (atoms) that constitute your body. This number is a quantity that can be pinpointed on the x-axis (or any line of numbers). Such quantities are called scalars.  … Fortsätt läsa →

Symmetries, translations and dilatations

Publicerat den april 16, 2012 av mattelararen

A good definition of symmetry was given by the mathematician Hermann Weyl:  An object is symmetrical  if, after you performed an operation on it, it still looks the same as it did before. A function can be moved in the … Fortsätt läsa →

Definite integrals

Publicerat den april 2, 2012 av mattelararen

In a geometrical context the integral can be interpreted as the area between the graph of the integrand f(x) and the x-axis. The idea is to summarize infinitely many infinitely thin rectangles. (An alternative approach to areacomputation is the Lebesgue-integration where you … Fortsätt läsa →
