I can find the best-fit polynomial function for the array, y = ax^2 + bx + c (where y = voltage output and x = incident temperature), and if I have arrays of data at flat fields captured at known T0, ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about the future of learning, work and human development. Okay, we cut a bad deal 20 years ago and it’s time to fix it.

Chromatic symmetric functions and combinatorial polynomials are central constructs in modern algebraic combinatorics, extending classical graph invariants into rich algebraic frameworks. Originating ...
