l´Hôpital’s rules

Posted on oktober 8, 2013 by

sin(x)/x = 1 when x approaches infinity. Direct substitution of x=0 gives the indeterminate form 0/0. The limit of an indeterminate form can be any number. For instance kx/x= 0 , |x|/x2= &inf; as x tends towards infinty. Many indeteminate … Läs mer →

Rotationskroppar

Posted on september 26, 2013 by

Ett elegant sätt att beräkna volymen av kroppar som genereras av en känd funktion s.k. rotationskroppar, är med hjälp av tvärsnittsformeln. Tanken är att en kurva med känd funktion y=f(x) roteras runt en av koordinataxlarna och därvid genereras en rotationskropp. … Läs mer →

Lagrangian mechanics

Posted on augusti 5, 2013 by

In functional analysis the variable itself is a function. This is used e.g. in the Lagrangian formulation of mechanics where one derives the Lagrangian i.e. L = kinetic energy – potential energy. The variables, or degrees of freedom, can be … Läs mer →

Spherical harmonics

Posted on maj 12, 2013 by

The spherical harmonics are functions describing the angular dependence of many physical problems e.g solutions to the Schrödinger equation for the hydrogen atom. If the latitiude is denoted by v and x= cosv then  the equation is (d/dx){(1 – x2)dPndx} … Läs mer →

MacLaurin-polynomials

Posted on december 12, 2012 by

→Taylor-expansion is a method of approximating a function f(x) around a point a with a polynomial of the argument x in the vicinity of a. The polynomial itself consists of the derivatives of the function of various orders. Tn(x) = … Läs mer →

Integration by parts

Posted on december 4, 2012 by

Integration by  parts can be regarded as the inverse to the product rule for differentiation. Suppose U(X) and V(x) are  two differentiable functions. According to the product rule dU(x)V(x)/dx = U(x) dV(x)/dx + V(x)dU(x)/dx = U(x) dV(x)/dx+ V(x)dU(x)/dx Integrating both … Läs mer →

Techniques of integration

Posted on november 29, 2012 by

If the primitive function of an integrand can be found it is always best to take advantage of the fundamental theorem of calculus. In order to be able to determine integrals whose indefinte integrals(primitive functions)  cannot be found immediately some … Läs mer →

Partial differential equations

Posted on oktober 25, 2012 by

A Partial differential equation is a differential equation that contains unknown multivariable functions and their partial derivatives. They are used to formulate problems involving functions of several variables. They can either be solved by hand or used to create a relevant computer … Läs mer →
