davidog.pngDave Bacon is a theoretical ski bum who is also a pseudo professor. His research is on quantum computing, his scientific passions extend to everything in physics, mathematics, computer science and beyond, and his personal pleasures include making wine, playing poker, skiing, camping, and daydreaming (although not all of those at the same time.) Nothing he says on this blog should be construed as having anything to do with his employer or his dog.

From the abstract;

The latter vanishes at the origin whereas the derivative of the former becomes zero there.

So the latter is the derivative of the former? Or more precisely; the asymptotically sine one has a derivative that's asymptotically cosine. Whodathunk?
