Math::Symbolic::AuxFunctions(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Math::Symbolic::AuxFunctions(3)

Math::Symbolic::AuxFunctions - Auxiliary functions for Math::Symbolic hierarchy

  use Math::Symbolic::AuxFunctions;
  
  Math::Symbolic::AuxFunctions::acos($x);
  # etc

This module contains implementations of some auxiliary functions that are used within the Math::Symbolic hierarchy of modules. In particular, this module holds all trigonometric functions used for numeric evaluation of trees by Math::Symbolic::Operator.

None. On purpose. If I wished this module would pollute others' namespaces, I'd have put the functions right where they're used.

Computes the tangent sin(x) / cos(x).

Computes the cotangent cos(x) / sin(x).

Computes the arc sine asin(z) = -i log(iz + sqrt(1-z*z)). Above formula is for complex numbers.

Computes the arc cosine acos(z) = -i log(z + sqrt(z*z-1)). Above formula is for complex numbers.

Computes the arc tangent atan(z) = i/2 log((i+z) / (i-z)). Above formula is for complex numbers.

Computes the arc cotangent ( atan( 1 / x ) ).

Computes the arc hyperbolic sine asinh(z) = log(z + sqrt(z*z+1))

Computes the arc hyperbolic cosine acosh(z) = log(z + sqrt(z*z-1)).

Calculates the binomial coefficient n over k of its first two arguments (n, k).

Code taken from Orwant et al, "Mastering Algorithms with Perl"

The Bell numbers are defined as follows:

  B_0   = 1
  B_n+1 = sum_k=0_to_n( B_k * binomial_coeff(n, k) )

This function uses memoization.

Please send feedback, bug reports, and support requests to the Math::Symbolic support mailing list: math-symbolic-support at lists dot sourceforge dot net. Please consider letting us know how you use Math::Symbolic. Thank you.
