There many examples of families of functions where each function can be computed as a linear combination of the two previous terms where a and b are functions of x but not on n. This is called a three-term recurrence formula. It’s amazing how often

Probability density function must integrate to 1, and so if you know a density function up to a constant, the constant is determined. When you’re looking at a probability density f(x) for the first time, it helps to ignore the normalizing constant.

Declaring a value class is first and foremost a semantic decision. It tells our fellow programmers that its instances are defined entirely by their state and do not need identity. That clearer model is valuable in itself! The JVM’s additional freedom to o

Special functions are special because they’re useful. They can also be shrouded in arcane terminology. These two facts are related. The more widely useful a function is, the more likely it is that the function will be discovered independently multip
