Favourite function?

[allisolm]

Anyone who even has a "favorite function" needs to get out WAY more. 😀

Anyone who thinks this kind of nonsense needs grow-up and stop the tendency to express his or her inadequacy by making fun of people who like math.😀

As for favorite function, I suppose I don't have one.:laugh:

I have a BS in math, thank you very much and STILL think that saying you have a "favorite function" is WAY geeky. 😀

 

[monk3y]

None of the above.

The most interesting function is probably f(x) = {1 if x EXISTSIN rationals, else 0}. You get some incredibly weird results when you start trying to figuring out the properties of this, for examples, like where it is continuous, and does the integral exist. Then slightly modify it to the function f(x) = {x if x EXISTSIN rationals, else 0) and see what happens 😉

HINT : The definition of the integral you probably learned in calculus has some problems, as you will see . . .

EDIT : Using R for rationals was pretty dumb

Hehe, good one. I have a BA in Math so I guess that makes me less geeky. 😀

my favorite function is the bodily kind that results in a log in the toilet.

Not if you have a favorite function. :laugh:
(I'm glad that my university considered mathematics a science rather than an art.)

 

[ggavinmoss]

My favorite function is strstr ().

e^(i*PI) + 1 = 0

All the important numbers in math in one equation.

You can pick between a BS in math or a BA.

 

[Ameesh]

this is too easy, e^x of course

 

[Aves]

My least favorite is e^(-(x^2)) because I hated finding it's 4th derivative to find the error in a Simpson's Rule Approximation of the integral.

 

[dullard]

f(x)=1

I have no favorites, so I just picked the most useful function. Without the number 1, very little could be done in many fields.

 

[Beller0ph1]

e^(i*pi)+1=0

Indeed, but I don't have one. 🙂

BTW, what is up with all these people listing equations as functions? WTF people, get it straight. 😀 (whoops, geekness revealed)

Yep, and the derivative too.....🙂

Zeta function over complex numbers

 

[LordMorpheus]

I like e^x a whole lot, because all the derivitives are e^x, and the integral is e^x + C.

Its so perfect.

And the maclorin (i kin spel) series is great, too. 1+x+(x^2)/2+(x^3)/3!+.........

Its just such a perfect function. I loves it.
