exponential_

regression

Given a set of points, returns a vector containing the

coefficients a and b of y=b*a^x, the exponential which best

fits the set of points. The points may be the elements in two

lists or the rows of a matrix.

exponential_regression(Matrix) or
exponential_regression(List1, List2)

Example:

exponential_regression

returns

1.60092225473,1.10008339351

EXPR

Parses the string String into a number or expression.

expr (String)

Examples:

expr("2+3")

returns

5

expr("X+10")

returns

100

, if the variable X has the

value 90

ezgcd

Uses the EZ GCD algorithm to return the greatest common

divisor of two polynomials with at least two variables.

ezgcd(Poly1,Poly2)

Example:

ezgcd(x^2-2*xy+y^2-1,x-y)

returns

1

f2nd

Returns a vector consisting of the numerator and denominator

of an irreducible form of a rational fraction.

f2nd(RatFrac)

Example:

f2nd

returns

factorial

Returns the factorial of an integer or the solution to the gamma

function for a non-integer.

factorial(Integer) or factorial(Real)

Example:

factorial(4)

gives

24

1.0 2.0
0.0 1.0
4.0 7.0
