	Functional calculus - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		In mathematics, a functional calculus is a theory allowing one to apply mathematical functions to mathematical operators.
		The idea of a functional calculus is to create a principled approach to this kind of overloading of the notation.
		The easy case is to apply polynomial functions to a square matrix, extending what has just been discussed.

		Calculus was not brought into the school syllabus in Italy as early as in many other countries and the concept of a function only brought in around 1910 after Castelnuovo's efforts.
		This generalisation of the Riemann integral revolutionised the integral calculus.
		These other areas include functional analysis and numerical analysis and within these topics he published papers on the theory of functions, the theory of complex variables, approximation theory in which he was particularly interested in using Bernstein polynomials, the calculus of variations, methods of finding approximate solutions to partial differential equations, and descriptive set theory.

	Continuous functional calculus - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		In operator theory and C-algebra theory the continuous functional* calculus allows applications of continuous functions to normal elements of a associates to a normal element C*-algebra.
		This implies in particular, that bounded self-adjoint operators on Hilbert spaces have a continuous functional calculus.
		For the case of normal operators on a Hilbert space of more interest is the Borel functional calculus.

	Functional Nets
		Functional nets are a way to think about programs and computation which is born from a fusion of the essential ideas of functional programming and Petri nets.
		That is, functional nets constitute a programming method which derives much of its simplicity and elegance from close connections to a fundamental underlying calculus.
		Quite similarly, the basic execution step of a functional net is a rewriting according to some rewrite rule, which has as a precondition that all function symbols of the rule's left-hand side have matching calls.

	Amazon.com: Functional Calculus of Pseudo-Differential Boundary Problems (Progress in Mathematics (Birkhauser Boston)): ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		A secondary purposed is to give a complete treatment of the properties of the calculus of pseudodifferential boundary problems with transmission, both the first version by Boutet de Monvel (brought completely up to date in this edition) and in version containing a parameter running in an unbounded set.
		In this second edition the author has extended the scope and applicability of the calculus wit original contributions and perspectives developed in the years since the first edition.
		The main purpose of this work is to set up an operational calculus for operators defined from differential and pseudodifferential boundary value problems, via a resolvent construction, and to present some applications of this to evolution problems, fractional powers, index theory, spectral theory and singular perturbation problems.

		Calculus is a vast topic, and it forms the basis for much of modern mathematics.
		At school, you are introduced to differential calculus by learning how to find the derivative of a function in order to determine the slope of the graph of that function at any point.
		Integral calculus is often introduced in school in terms of finding primitive functions (indefinite integrals) and finding the area under a curve (definite integrals).

		Since the H-P functional calculus is one of the main mathematical tools throughout the dissertation, we present an elementary introduction to it based on the Riemann-Stieltjes integral.
		Aside from theoretical investigations, we show how our functional analytic methods can be used for computational purposes by applying the results to the one-dimensional heat equation.
		The Dunford-Taylor functional calculus is employed to obtain an estimate on the stability constant of the restricted denominator approximation method applied to the one dimensional, space-discretized heat equation.

	Lambda Calculus \| Lambda the Ultimate
		It's fun to see lambda calculus introduced to an audience already familiar with categories, as that seems to be the opposite of the usual state of affairs around here, and I can think of certain LtU regulars who will hopefully find this whole subject enjoyable.
		In this paper we present a solution based on the intuition that the structure of a type may be partially known/unknown at compile-time and the job of the type system is to catch incompatibilities between the known parts of types.
		The main goal of this line of research is to ease functional programming, along with the subgoal to provide an axis to evaluate heuristic approaches to program synthesis such as genetic programming by telling the best performance possible by exhaustive search algorithms.

		Functional analysis is an abstract branch of mathematics that originated from classical analysis. Read the first page
		Moreover, since the majority of "introductory" texts on Functional Analysis are primarily directed toward graduate students the aforementioned requirements coupled with a wide selection of topics makes this book easily accessible to advanced undergraduates and begining graduate students.
		It shows that functional analysis is a generalization and extension of many concepts from undergraduate algebra and calculus.

		Conventions in calculus, for instance, make calculation with derivatives and integrals rather smooth and problem-free: the rules are well-known and widely used, letting the symbols do the work.
		First, concrete generic functionals support smooth transition between pointwise and point-free formulations (i.e., with and without variables).
		Second, a functional predicate calculus makes formal logic practical for everyday use by mathematicians and engineers, allowing them to calculate with predicates and quantifiers as fluently as they have learned to do with derivatives and integrals.

		The function returns the new environment, in which the old environment env is combined with a maplet from the variable var to the value val.
		If all functions merely had local variables, upon function exit the environment could revert to the environment that was originally passed to the function.
		For the moment, the simplest approach is to assume that objects in the theoretical model are “pure functional objects”, that is, all modifications to object state do not literally modify the state of the object, rather they create and return a new object in which the changes are manifest.
