Combinatorial analysis, in the trivial sense of manipulating binomial and multinomial coefficients, and formally expanding powers of infinite series by applications ad libitum and ad nauseamque of the multinomial theorem, represented the best that academic mathematics could do in the… — Richard Askey Copy Share Image
Certain functions appear so often that it is convenient to give them names. These are collectively called special functions. There are many examples and… — Richard Askey Copy Share Image
When I was in graduate school in Princeton, I was told to take three courses. One of them to work on really hard, another… — Richard Askey Copy Share Image
Like a stool which needs three legs to be stable, mathematics education needs three components: good problems, with many of them being multi-step ones,… — Richard Askey Copy Share Image
