    The Error Function

    I do not know, but it is .related to the normal distribution. An overview http://www.mhtlab.uwaterloo.ca/courses/me755/web_chap2.pdf One use for the inverse function is generating a normal distribution given a mean and standard deviation. Pass a mean u and standard deviation sigma a, sort...

    Haven't watched SNL since the 80s. Who or what is Che?

    The Error Function

    1st column x, 2nd erf(x), 3rd ierf(erf(x)), 1st and 2bd columns should be the same ideally without numerical issues. +0.123456789012345 0.138601545069331 +0.123456789012336 +0.223456789012345 0.248009349056034 +0.223456789012325 +0.323456789012345 0.352643009080857...

    The Error Function

    The error function and inverse error function. Both important. The error function is done by numerical integration. The inverse function by a series. At small x values the precision is about 12 decimal places. It goes down as the magnitude of x increases. The c coefficients for the inverse...

    How can I become a well known name in the Republican Party in Congress?

    It is easy. Go to Mar a Lago and on national TV kneel down and kiss Trump's ass. It is what house speaker Johnson just did.

    Merged Gaza just launched an unprovoked attack on Israel

    Israel won a propaganda war with our politicians and the people, but is eroding a bit now. All Paesinins are terrorists. Israel is a blameless victim, ignore those Jewish conies in the Wes Bank. Some of the Israeli propaganda a[ring on TV over here is nauseating.

    Merged Gaza just launched an unprovoked attack on Israel

    Here we go folks, Iranian drones are reported on the way to Israel as retaliation for attacking a diplomatic mission in Syria killing officers. Netanyahu has long wanted the US to attack Iran, and now Iran may give Biden the excuse. We have no defense treaty with Israel yet Biden will...

    Finding Zeros

    True in how to apply math is nt black and white. Depends on the problem and the preferences of the individual. Back in the 80s when all I had was a calculator I used Simpson's Rule to integrate functions. Today Python Numpy and other math tools has a built in trapezoid function with which I...

    Finding Zeros

    A lot numerical techniques predate computers or developed during slow main frame and 4 megahertz PCs. Iteration counts could matter. Numb of iterations can still matter, but not so much. For a sine at 1 hertz there is a zero at exactly 0.5 seconds. 100 to 1 million iterations, Each iteration...

    According to Robert Sapolsky, human free will does not exist

    I have to digress. Human history from the earliest records show us to be more like screeching, aggressive, violent, feces flinging chimps. Free will is open to debate. There is no way to prove exp experimentally that we have an idealized free will that is not subect to prior conditions and...

    Finding Zeros

    Finding zero crossings is straight forward. Just look for a sign change in the data an unambiguous indication of a zero. The problem is given a peak that is mathematically exactly at zero the odds of it being exactly zero with sampled data and digital commutation is low. My solution was to...

    Bridges Are Us

    My guess would be cost is the issue. If a suspension bridge uses less steel it is cheaper. It may be cheaper to build. Try searching on 'suspension bridge costs versus other designs.' There should be sites that go through the structural design issues and tradeoffs.

    Problems with the Problem of Evil

    Another is Christians inferimg atheism equates to imaorlity or a llcck of erthics. Atheism simply means a rejction of deites. It infers nothing abot a beilef ot r marality. Ypir use of the word hedomism in context of relgion tells me something about what you believeand think. Conservves use a...

    Problems with the Problem of Evil

    The real Politesse emerges. You almost never actuary take a position r respond to what is said of Christianity. You sit back and nit pick. You sound more like a Christian apologist but you never explicitly articulate what you actually think about Christianity. That would open you to questions...

    Problems with the Problem of Evil

    A bit to unpack in the last sentences A typical Christian false equivalency. Objective science equates to a morality which it does not. 'Science is out to destroy religion' can be heard on FOX. Secular and liberal equate to immorality.
