This document contains notes on inverse trigonometric functions including:
- Definitions and graphs of arcsin, arccos, arctan, and arcsec functions
- Derivations of the derivatives of arcsin, arccos, and arctan using the Inverse Function Theorem
- Examples of composing inverse trig functions and finding their derivatives
We cover the inverses to the trigonometric functions sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, cosecant, and their derivatives. The remarkable fact is that although these functions and their inverses are transcendental (complicated) functions, the derivatives are algebraic functions. Also, we meet my all-time favorite function: arctan.

FITTED OPERATOR FINITE DIFFERENCE METHOD FOR SINGULARLY PERTURBED PARABOLIC C...ieijjournal
In this paper, we study the numerical solution of singularly perturbed parabolic convection-diffusion type
with boundary layers at the right side. To solve this problem, the backward-Euler with Richardson
extrapolation method is applied on the time direction and the fitted operator finite difference method on the
spatial direction is used, on the uniform grids. The stability and consistency of the method were established
very well to guarantee the convergence of the method. Numerical experimentation is carried out on model
examples, and the results are presented both in tables and graphs. Further, the present method gives a more
accurate solution than some existing methods reported in the literature.
Tensor Train (TT) decomposition [3] is a generalization of SVD decomposition from matrices to tensors (=multidimensional arrays).
It represents a tensor compactly in terms of factors and allows to work with the tensor via its factors without materializing the tensor itself.
For example, we can find the elementwise product of two TT-tensors of size 2^100 and get the result in the TT-format as well.
In the talk, we will show how Tensor Train decomposition can be used to represent parameters of neural networks [1] and polynomial models [2].
This parametrization allows exponentially many 'virtual' parameters while working only with small factors of the TT-format.
To train the model, i.e. optimize the objective subject to the constraint that the parameters are in the TT-format, [2] uses stochastic Riemannian optimization.

Abstract
A numerical algorithm is presented for studying laminar convection flow and heat transfer over a non-isothermal horizontal plate.

where C and n are constants. By means of similarity transformation, the original nonlinear partial differential equations of flow
are transformed to a pair of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Subsequently they are reduced to a first order system and
integrated using Newton Raphson and adaptive Runge-Kutta methods. The computer codes are developed for this numerical
analysis in Matlab environment. Velocity, and temperature profiles for various Prandtl number and n are illustrated graphically.

A concept of quantum computing is proposed which naturally incorporates an additional kind of uncertainty, i.e. vagueness (fuzziness), by introducing obscure qudits (qubits), which are simultaneously characterized by a quantum probability and a membership function. Along with the quantum amplitude, a membership amplitude for states is introduced. The Born rule is used for the quantum probability only, while the membership function can be computed through the membership amplitudes according to a chosen model. Two different versions are given here: the "product" obscure qubit in which the resulting amplitude is a product of the quantum amplitude and the membership amplitude, and the "Kronecker" obscure qubit, where quantum and vagueness computations can be performed independently (i.e. quantum computation alongside truth). The measurement and entanglement of obscure qubits are briefly described.
Mixed Spectra for Stable Signals from Discrete Observationssipij
This paper concerns the continuous-time stable alpha symmetric processes which are inivitable in the modeling of certain signals with indefinitely increasing variance. Particularly the case where the spectral measurement is mixed: sum of a continuous measurement and a discrete measurement. Our goal is to estimate the spectral density of the continuous part by observing the signal in a discrete way. For that, we propose a method which consists in sampling the signal at periodic instants. We use Jackson's polynomial kernel to build a periodogram which we then smooth by two spectral windows taking into account the width of the interval where the spectral density is non-zero. Thus, we bypass the phenomenon of aliasing often encountered in the case of estimation from discrete observations of a continuous time process.

Streamlining assessment, feedback, and archival with auto-multiple-choiceMatthew Leingang
Auto-multiple-choice (AMC) is an open-source optical mark recognition software package built with Perl, LaTeX, XML, and sqlite. I use it for all my in-class quizzes and exams. Unique papers are created for each student, fixed-response items are scored automatically, and free-response problems, after manual scoring, have marks recorded in the same process. In the first part of the talk I will discuss AMC’s many features and why I feel it’s ideal for a mathematics course. My contributions to the AMC workflow include some scripts designed to automate the process of returning scored papers
back to students electronically. AMC provides an email gateway, but I have written programs to return graded papers via the DAV protocol to student’s dropboxes on our (Sakai) learning management systems. I will also show how graded papers can be archived, with appropriate metadata tags, into an Evernote notebook.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

2. What is an inverse function?
Definition
Let f be a function with domain D and range E. The inverse of f is the
function f −1
defined by:
f −1
(b) = a,
where a is chosen so that f (a) = b.
So
f −1
(f (x)) = x, f (f −1
(x)) = x
V63.0121.021, Calculus I (NYU) Section 3.5 Inverse Trigonometric Functions November 2, 2010 4 / 32
What functions are invertible?
In order for f −1
to be a function, there must be only one a in D
corresponding to each b in E.
Such a function is called one-to-one
The graph of such a function passes the horizontal line test: any
horizontal line intersects the graph in exactly one point if at all.
If f is continuous, then f −1
is continuous.

The Inverse Function Theorem
Theorem (The Inverse Function Theorem)
Let f be differentiable at a, and f (a) = 0. Then f −1
is defined in an open
interval containing b = f (a), and
(f −1
) (b) =
1
f (f −1(b))
In Leibniz notation we have
dx
dy
=
1
dy/dx
Upshot: Many times the derivative of f −1
(x) can be found by implicit
differentiation and the derivative of f :

6. Illustrating the Inverse Function Theorem
Example
Use the inverse function theorem to find the derivative of the square root function.
Solution (Newtonian notation)
Let f (x) = x2
so that f −1
(y) =
√
y. Then f (u) = 2u so for any b > 0 we have
(f −1
) (b) =
1

√

Solution (Leibniz notation)
If the original function is y = x2
, then the inverse function is defined by x = y2
.

10. Application
Example
One of the guiding principles of
most sports is to “keep your eye
on the ball.” In baseball, a batter
stands 2 ft away from home plate
as a pitch is thrown with a
velocity of 130 ft/sec (about
90 mph). At what rate does the
batter’s angle of gaze need to
change to follow the ball as it
crosses home plate?
