In practice, we reduce the problem to as few coordinates as possible for what we’re trying to study, often by factoring the integral into as many independent, low- dimensional integrals as possible. Clever spacing of the points (where the function changes faster, we want more points per unit x) and other tricks can make this even more efficient. The search for more efficient numerical integrators for many-dimensional functions has fueled research projects in mathematics for decades. Syntax for numerical integration of the expression 10 exp (- p1/3r2) r2 dr for common symbolic math programs.
These can be obtained by taking the integral of the function between the appropriate limits. Two examples follow. First Derivatives Problem Find the maximum value of the function 3 cos2 u - 1 where 0 … u 6 p. Solution Take the derivative with respect to the variable, in this case u: d (3 cos2 u - 1) = - 6 cos u sin u. du This derivative is zero when either sin u or cos u is zero, in other words at u = 0 or p>2. To determine which of these values corresponds to the maximum, we can substitute the two values back into the original function, obtaining 3 cos2(0) - 1 = 3 # (1)2 - 1 = 2, 3 cos2(p>2) - 1 = 3 # (0)2 - 1 = - 1.
Differential Equations Equations in which the variables of interest appear with different orders of their derivatives are called differential equations. Examples are x + (dx>dy) = 0 and (d2x>dy2) + y = 5(dx>dy). The solution to these is essentially a problem in integration, and (like integration) need not have an algebraic solution. 8 Fourier Transform Problem Find the Fourier transform fk(k) of a step function fx(x) (Fig. 6a), for fx(x) equal to f0 in the range - a … x 6 a and zero everywhere else.
