  • a mathematically stunning formula. I find the formula for the second derivative of the gamma function at 1 which gives you pi^2/6 plus the euler mascheroni constant squares. This gives a beautiful identity that relates two mysterious constants. The gamma function is a generalization of the factorial which is used to count permutations and combinations. This is related to nice integrals using logarithmic and exponential functions. A must see for calculus students and anyone who is interested in math and sciences. It involves the Hurwitz and the Riemann zera functions and might be related to the Riemann hypothesis

    I've been writing my undergraduate thesis on Analytic Number Theory and as a part of it I had to develop the theory of the Gamma function as a meromorphic function. I learnt many awesome things about it and one of them was the formula for its logarithmic derivative, so I decided to try solving this problem with it but without seeing the video and I indeed got the thumbnail's answer. Pretty cool :P

    so the polygamma function can be written in different ways?

      And yes - it’s definitely a close second to e^(i*pi) = -1 👌😎

    I used this once to solve an integral. I think it was integral from 0 to infinity of sinx/x*(lnx)^2dx

    The recurrence relation of the polygamma function can be used to derive its series representation.

    Triple cool!
    I've never liked the gamma function compared to the version without the offset input. Is the polygamma function one of those times it's so much easier to use the "weird" gamma function instead of the "natural" pi function?

    the Basel result of pi^2/6 also arises in the Variance of the extreme value distribution namely exp ^- ( e ^- x ) which becomes the digamma namely the gamma integrand times a logarithm . My work in finance studies the Integral of the gamma Not it's Differential as here but there is no closed form as the logarithm appears on the bottom . Any ideas here Doc ? really appreciate some help . Integral of the Gamma Function ??

    "Prime" means "first" (cf. primal, premier, prime minister,...).
    What in heaven does "double prime" mean? Something doubly singular?
    Actually that is the second derivative, so one says "F second" or here "Gamma second".
    Also, remember that zeta is Z, so the tail turns to the right, not the left (which makes it more of a J).

    • @Exchromer
      @Exchromer Рік тому +8

      "Prime" here is not referring to "first", it is referring to the symbol (') which is called a prime mark. Eg. " Take a point A' " is read "Take a point A prime". Simmilarly, the symbol ('') consists of two prime marks, hence the second derivative of gamma would be shortened to gamma double-prime. This way of describing derivatives is incredibly common.

      Yes but the reason it is called "prime" is because it is the first derivative. The second derivative would be second etc

      @@jameeztherandomguy5418 the (") symbol's name is double prime as is called by typographers and linguists... '' is read double-prime. ''' is read triple prime, etc.
      If you like saying f-second go for it, but saying f-double-prime is just as correct as the former, it is simply referring to notation rather than the meaning. Same as you read 3+5 as "three plus five" instead of "sum of 3 and 5". While the latter is the meaning of the expression, the former is the way it is written.

      @@Exchromer This is true in typography, not in maths. (Not in physics either. 23" is 23 seconds, not «double primes», be it time or geography.)
      Just look at the other languages. Those that I know (check?) express "prime" as "first" (derivative) and then "second", "third", etc. (Maybe Dr. Peyam is using a German way of saying?)
      Even more so that you do not write "quadruple prime" but "fourth": ƒ to the IV, not IIII. Do you say "F prime V"? No, of course.
