Chebyshev 1821-1894 Chebyshev expansion methods for electronic structure calculations on large molecular systems Roi Baer and Martin Head-Gordon Department of Chemistry, University of California, Berkeley, and Chemical Sciences Division, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, California 94720 The Chebyshev polynomial expansion of the one electron density matrix (DM) in electronic structure calculations is studied, extended in several ways and benchmark demonstrations are applied to large saturated hydrocarbon systems, using tight-binding method. We describe a flexible tree code for the sparse numerical algebra. We present an efficient method to locate the chemical potential. A reverse summation of the expansion is found to significantly improve numerical speed. We also discuss the use of Chebyshev expansions as analytical tools to estimate of the range and sparsity of the DM and the overlap matrix. Using these analytical estimates, a comparison with other linear scaling algorithms and their applicability to various systems is considered

Tax Law In mathematics the Chebyshev polynomials , named after Pafnuty Chebyshev ), are special polynomials . One usually distinguishes between Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind which are denoted T n and Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind which are denoted U n . The letter T is used because of the alternative transliterations of the name Chebyshev as Tchebyshef or Tschebyscheff The Chebyshev polynomials T n or U n are polynomials of degree n and the sequence of Chebyshev polynomials of either kind composes a polynomial sequence Chebyshev polynomials are important in approximation theory because the roots of the Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind, which are also called Chebyshev nodes , are used as nodes in polynomial interpolation . The resulting interpolation polynomial minimizes the problem of Runge's phenomenon and provides the best approximation to a continuous function under the maximum norm In the study differential equations they arise as the solution to the Chebyshev differential equation for the polynomials of the first and second kind, respectively. These equation are special cases of the

Home ShowIdeas.Com (sm) Search "THE BEST IN TRADITIONAL & ONLINE PUBLIC RELATIONS FOR PUBLISHERS & AUTHORS" Press Release Genesis of MY BRAIN IS OPEN Order from Amazon ABOUT PAUL ERDÖS (An overview of the life of Paul Erdös. This is not an excerpt from the book, My Brain Is Open: The Mathematical Journeys of Paul Erdös, but a separate article prepared by its author, Bruce Schechter) F OR OVER half a century, early in the morning or in the middle of the night, mathematicians in Budapest or Berkeley, Prague or Sydney have been summoned from their multi-dimensional dreams by a knock at the door. Their unexpected guest was a short, smiling man wearing thick glasses and an old suit. In one hand he held a small suitcase containing everything he owned, in the other a shopping bag stuffed with papers. It was Paul Erdös, one of the greatest mathematicians of the twentieth century, a man who lived in the space of Platonic Ideals and infinite beauty, who called no place on Earth home. Never one to waste time on formalities with work to be done, Erdös would announce to his host: "My brain is open!" For the next few days, brains open, Erdös and his host, with other mathematicians recruited as needed, would be off on a mathematical journey of problem, conjecture, theorem and proof. The goal of their journey was nothing less than Truth and Beauty. "If numbers aren't beautiful, I don't know what is," Erdös once remarked. While the pursuit of mathematical beauty was Erdös's only goal, his ideas inevitably have found practical applications. One of the small ironies of Erdös's life is that, although he never owned or used a computer, mathematics that he invented is the basis for modern computer science; although he never had a secret, his mathematics is used by those who invent secret codes.

Virtual Laboratories Expected Value 2. Variance and Higher Moments Definition As usual, we start with a random experiment that has a sample space and a probability measure P . Suppose that X is a random variable for the experiment, taking values in a subset S of R . Recall that the expected value or mean of X gives the center of the distribution of X . The variance of X is a measure of the spread of the distribution about the mean and is defined by var( X E X E X Thus, the variance is the second central moment of X 1. Suppose that X has a discrete distribution with density function f . Use the change of variables theorem to show that var( X x in S x E X f x 2. Suppose that X has a continuous distribution with density function f . Use the change of variables theorem to show that var( X S x E X f x dx The standard deviation of X is the square root of the variance: sd( X ) = [var( X It also measures dispersion about the mean but has the same physical units as the variable X Properties The following exercises give some basic properties of variance, which in turn rely on basic properties of expected value 3.

INTRODUCTION: Over the past thirty five years I have taught an introductory sequence of graduate level courses in mathematical analysis for engineering majors. An estimated 3000 students have attended these courses and the topics covered are Advanced Ordinary Differential Equations (EGM6321), Partial Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems(EGM6222), and Integral Equations and Variational Methods(EGM6323). We present here a collection of equations and graphs for the various mathematical functions encountered in our lectures and give some relevant historical information on the mathematicians associated with their discovery. Equations and figures are presented in sequential order as they arise in the lectures. You can view the graphs by clicking on the underlined titles or the activated word HERE. The graphs have been generated by a variety of canned programs including Maple, Matlab, Mathematica, and Mathcad. OUTLINES for the three courses are found HERE HERE, and HERE .

The following is a summary of the different approaches we use to construct our model Australian, Canadian, and U.S. Dollar, Euro, Yen, and Pounds-Sterling based portfolios. The first approach we use is basically a "rule of thumb" (or, to use the more formal term, a "heuristic") approach. To construct our benchmark portfolios, we use three "rule of thumb" weightings that are often cited in news stories and other popular media: a mix of 80% equities and 20% debt (for our high risk/high return portfolios); a mix of 60% equities and 40% debt (for our moderate risk/moderate return portfolios); and a mix of 20% equities and 80% debt (for our low risk/low return portfolios). Using different terminology, somebody else might call these three portfolios aggressive, balanced, and conservative. We use two types of equity and debt to construct these portfolios. For our "domestic benchmarks" we use broad domestic equity and bond market indexes and funds that track them. For our "global benchmarks" we use broad global equity and bond market indexes and funds.

Acting/Theatre MUSIC (Guitar): Andres Segovia [1893-1987], from Spain, was the most famous guitarist of all time. He brought the classical guitar from its folk- and dance-related image to the symphonies and concert halls of the most established musical prominence. He developed an approach to plucking the guitar strings with the fingernails of the right hand, which became the dominat school of guitar, displacing the gentler and more lyrical Neapolitan school which used the fingertips. Christopher Parkening is arguably the greatest American performer of Classical Guitar. After a year of intensive Classical Guitar at Brookdale Community College, under Christopher Parkening's master student Barry Eisner, I was able to play a few baroque pieces and original compositions at community college concerts, and then retired to the occasional original song at Woodstock, various parties and resorts, and while hitchiking across America, singing for my supper.

History of Russian Academy of Sciences Main RAS building Leninsky prospect 14, Moscow, 119991 Russia Phone: +7 (095) 938 0309 Fax: +7 (095) 954 3320 The Academy of Sciences was founded in St. Petersburg by Peter the Great's Decree and by the Decree of the Governing Senate of February 8, 1724. According to the 1747 Rules the Academy was called the Emperial Academy of Sciences and Arts in St. Petersburg, between 1803 and 1836 it was called the Emperial Academy of Sciences, from 1836 till July 1917 it was the Emperial St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences, in July 1917 it became the Russian Academy of Sciences, in July 1925 was renamed into the USSR Academy of Sciences and since December 1991 - the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS). This was the time when science was gaining ground and rapidly accumulating the true knowledge about the nature based on the experiment and mathematical methods. It was the time when life itself demanded closer contacts between science and practice in Russia. The creation of the Academy was one of the key elements of the Russia's deep-cutting transformations initiated by Peter the Great's (Picture at the right) reforms.

Contact information Portal map Search History ... Choose language The Academy in the XIXth and early ÕÕth century. Development of University Science. Formation of Scientific Schools In the 19th and early 20th century the scope of research areas presented in the Academy was noticeably extended. Humanities were developing alongside natural sciences. In 1841, some of the members of the Russian Academy, which had been functioning for sixty years as an independent institution involved in the study of the Russian language and literary monuments, joined the "big" Academy of Sciences. A department of the Russian language and literature was added to the already existing departments: of physics and mathematics and of history and philology. Prominent Russian authors like Vasily Zhukovsky, Ivan Krylov and, later, Leo Tolstoy were members of the new department, that also accepted literary critics and linguists. This period is marked by important discoveries and the making of new directions of research. The achievements of Russian physicists scored were no less impressive. As early as the beginning of the 19th century Vasily Petrov discovered the electric arc. Emily Lentz became widely known for his works in electromagnetism, Boris Yakobi proposed the method of galvanoplastics. An outstanding scientific achievement of Russian and world science was the invention of radio by Alexander Popov in 1895. In late 19th century, Evgraf Fedorov made a major contribution to crystallography and the establishment of crystallographic groups.

For his challenge Derbyshire picked a riddle, the Riemann Hypothesis (RH), that has been tantalizing mathematicians for over a century; a conundrum that Derbyshire labels as the “greatest unsolved problem in mathematics.” In Prime Obsession, he not only attempts to tell the story of Bernhard Riemann and his famous hypothesis but to communicate the complex and high level math involved down in such a way that a laymen reader might glimpse its meaning. It is to his immense credit that Derbyshire makes this interwoven tale of math and history both interesting and illuminating. A description of the RH should reveal the challenge Derbyshire faced:
