Let us find/set a specific form for the function Explanation: I doubt `specialize' may be the word here. |

to find a simplified form of the function ... Explanation: where (probably) one parameter has a fixed value. There's a lot of Google stuff about C++ and so on, and it's difficult to find a mathematical example, but I'm fairly sure that's right. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2006-08-11 21:19:29 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Seems like a good word to me, if my explanation fits what you mean by "specialize"! |

peer agreement (net): +1assign a specific functional form Explanation: A functional form is an algebraic expression that corresponds to a particular functional relationship. For example, there are various ways to describe a direct relationship between two variables: Function: y = f(x) where dy/dx > 0 Functional forms: y = a + bx where b > 0 (straight line) y = a + b*ln(x) where b > 0 (curve line with decreasing slope) y = a + b*x*x* where b > 0 (curve line with increasing slope) All of the above functional forms express the same idea as the functional relationship given by y = f(x) where dy/dx > 0, but each functional form produces a graph that appears differently. |

Let us enter arguments into the function F(x) Explanation: That is the conclusion I take from this ref: http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/TuplesProductsAndRecords ... higher-order function. Specialization is applying that function to a specific argument. |
