What if one day you need to determine the Gaussian error function without a dedicated calculator at hand? Your situation isn't hopeless. There are several good ways of approximating erf. Let us mention two of them. The error function has the following Taylor (Maclaurin) series: erf(x)=2π...
Question: The error function,erf(x), is defined as {eq}erf(x) = \dfrac{2}{\sqrt \pi} \int_0^x e^{-t^2} dt. {/eq} (a) Compute {eq}\dfrac{d}{dx}[erf(-2x)] {/eq}. (b) Compute {eq}erf'(\sqrt x) {...
It is interesting to see how ready the reviewers are to ditch the “settled science” that has been in the literature for decades whenever they find it inconvenient. “The energy-balance equation used by climate science is just a Taylor-series expansion of the difference between the global aver...
PTEN has been implicated in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), particularly through homologous recombination (HR). However, other data fail to demonstrate a direct role of PTEN in DSB repair. Therefore, here, we report experiments designed to
