This video is all about prime numbers, covering:
•Deriving polynomial sequence functions by hand
•Deriving exponential sequence functions by hand
•Worked examples of polynomial and exponential sequences
•A worked example using helper functions in the Wolfram Language
•Linear regression using the least squares method
•Models of non-linear regression
As well as a handful of functions within the Wolfram Language, including:
•Differences[ ] and Ratios[ ]
•ListPlot[ ] and DiscretePlot[ ]
•FindSequenceFunction[ ]
•FindGeneratingFunction[ ]
•FindLinearRecurrence[ ] and FindRepeat[ ]
•RSolve[ ] and RSolveValue[ ]
•LinearModelFit[ ] and NonlinearModelFit[ ]
This video was written by Alistair Forsyth as part of the series “Discrete Calculus with the Wolfram Language”.
