This is a subject I struggled with the first time I took it. Ironically, this was the engineering version of it. It wasn't until I took the rigorous, axiomatic version that everything clicked.

“Mathematics is the art of reducing any problem to linear algebra.” This is a quote often attributed to William Stein, a former mathematics professor at the University of Washington, now the lead ...

The study of polynomial sequences and their moment properties occupies a central role in contemporary mathematical research, bridging classical analysis with modern combinatorial theory. Polynomial ...

In this paper we consider transformations of sequences of orthogonal polynomials associated with a Hermitian linear functional ℒ using spectral transformations of the corresponding C-function F ℒ . We ...
