Something weird is going on! Ms. LaGrange talks funny, and she's from some other country called France! She thinks the vomitorium is a fancy restaurant! Plus she's writing secret messages in the mashed potatoes. Ms. LaGrange is the weirdest lunch lady in the history of the world!
Geared toward upper-level undergraduates and graduate students, this elementary introduction to classical umbral calculus explores Sheffer sequences and operators and their adjoints, with numerous examples of associated and other sequences. Also discusses the connection constants problem and duplication formulas, the Lagrange inversion formula, operational formulas, inverse relations, and binomial convolution. 1984 edition.
The Geometry of Higher-Order Lagrange Spaces: Applications to Mechanics and Physics
This monograph is devoted to the problem of the geometrizing of Lagrangians which depend on higher-order accelerations. It presents a construction of the geometry of the total space of the bundle of the accelerations of order k>=1. A geometrical study of the notion of the higher-order Lagrange space is conducted, and the old problem of prolongation of Riemannian spaces to k-osculator manifolds is solved.
