Three-term recurrences
The Endeavour @ 2026-08-24 16:14:55
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
The von Mises-Fisher distribution
The Endeavour @ 2026-08-24 16:14:25
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.

Why special function terminology is arcane
