Special Functions,
by Andrews, Askey and Roy.
Here's a belated review,
and a thank you.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Beauty in mathematics,
said Polya,
is seeing the truth
without effort.
Everything
in The Book
is as elegant,
as could be.
Everything
as simple,
as effortless,
as should be.
Everything
as beautiful,
as it is.

Paradox
Paradox
Ambigram by punyamishra
All Cretans are liars
said Epiminedes,
a Cretan,
a classic Paradox.
If Epiminedes tells the truth
then he must be lying.
And if he is lying,
he is telling the truth.

Still infinite,
but compact,
somehow closer to
being finite.

Look here too.
The Modulus Function
Every differentiable function
is also continuous.
"This does not mean,"
the Modulus Function
points out,
"that every continuous function
is differentiable too."

Not differentiable
A continuous function
Going along nicely
without lifting pencil
from paper.
Ouch!
This sharp point
got me,
its not differentiable.

Continuous function
A continuous function,
draw it without
picking up pencil
from paper.
At all points,
the left hand limit
the same as
the right hand limit,
the same as
the value of the function
at the point.
At all points
its value
what it should be.

Ambigram by punyamishra
The scientific training,
teaches how to discover.
The artistic training
teaches how to uncover.
The mathematician uncovers,
only to discover --
new things to uncover.

Isosceles Triangle
An Isosceles Triangle
looks in the mirror,
and finds itself un-reversed.
"My base angles are equal,"
it says.
