	5.4 - Partial Fractions
		Partial Fraction Decomposition only works for proper rational expressions, that is, the degree of the numerator must be less than the degree of the denominator.
		If the partial fractions we're decomposing the rational expression into must be proper, then an irreducible quadratic factor could have a linear term and/or a constant term in the numerator.
		The implications of this for partial fraction decomposition are that when you have a repeated factor (a factor with a multiplicity other than one), you need to include a factor in the expansion for each power possible.

	Partial Fraction Expansion - Erik Cheever
		Partial fraction expansion is performed whenever we want to represent a complicated fraction as a sum of simpler fractions.
		Partial fraction expansion can only be performed when the order of the denominator polynomial (the bottom term of the fraction) is greater than the order of the numerator (the top term).
		Before performing a partial fraction expansion, the fraction must be manipulated so that the order of the numerator is less than that of the denominator.

	Partial Fraction Decomposition
		A rational expression is a fraction whose numerator and denominator are both polynomials.
		Partial fraction decomposition is the process of rewriting a rational expression as the sum of a quotient polynomial plus partial fractions.

		This method is used when the factors in the denominator of the fraction are linear (in other words do not have any square or cube terms etc).
		The “cover-up method” is a quick way of working out partial fractions, but it is important to realise that this only works when there are linear factors in the denominator, as there are here.
		Note that it is Bx + C on the numerator of the fraction with the squared term in the denominator.

	Karl's Calculus Tutor - 11.7 Partial Fractions
		That leaves us with the sum of an easy integral with one that meets the criterion for partial fractions (and is the same as the one we did in the last paragraph).
		In each of the partial fraction problems we have done so far, the polynomial in the denominator has had distinct real roots (that is real roots that are all different from each other).
		So there must be a partial fraction with that root to the first power and another with that root to the second power, just as we have it in equation 11.7-13b.

		The method of partial fractions is used when the denominator factors.
		Following this pattern, we could use partial fractions on any type of factor that we might encounter.
		In the case where the degree of the numerator is larger than degree of the denominator, we first use long division to create a fraction that we can use partial fractions on.

		That x has bounded partial quotients is equivalent to the existence of epsilon>0 such that for all rationals p/q we have x-p/q>epsilon/q^2.
		The a[i] are the partial quotients; the things that converge to the number are the convergents, usually denoted p[i]/q[i].
		Including a_0 among the partial quotients being restricted to {1,2} gives a set whose smallest element has continued fraction [_1,2_] and largest element [_2,1_] (where the _ are used to mark a periodic block).

		In algebra, the partial fraction decomposition or (partial fraction expansion) is used to reduce the degree of either the numerator or the denominator of a rational function.
		In many beginning calculus courses, partial fractions are introduced as a way to derive the general equation for a logistic function.
		The rate of change for the function is proportional (constant k) to both the population reached (P) and the fraction of the total carrying capacity (M) remaining.

		So, once we’ve determined that partial fractions can be done we factor the denominator as completely as possible. Then for each factor in the denominator we can use the following table to determine the term(s) we pick up in the partial fraction decomposition.
		To this point we’ve only looked at rational expressions where the degree of the numerator was strictly less that the degree of the denominator. Of course not all rational expressions will fit into this form and so we need to take a look at a couple of examples where this isn’t the case.
		So, in this case the degree of the numerator is 4 and the degree of the numerator is 3. Therefore, partial fractions can’t be done on this rational expression.

		The form of the partial fraction depends upon that of the denominator polynomial G[s]:
		With each of the cases described above, the numerator coefficients are found by multiplying through by the common denominator and then equating coefficients on either side of the equality.
