analysis__Description
Public facade for the current analysis layer.
Exported partitions:
- :dual – Dual numbers 𝔻 = a + bε (ε² = 0); forward-mode AD carrier (moved from :numbers at PR #513).
- :forms – differential one-forms and covector conversion.
- :exterior – wedge products and alternating two-forms.
- :hamilton – Poisson brackets and Hamiltonian witnesses.
- :kernels – Gaussian and reproducing-kernel primitives.
- :ftc – Fundamental Theorem of Calculus bridge hooks.
- Note
- "L'analyse, ce n'est pas seulement calculer; c'est organiser les
structures
qui rendent le calcul intelligible." ("Analysis is not only about calculating; it is about organizing the
structures that make calculation intelligible.") – Laurent Schwartz, paraphrase
Roadmap (work in progress)
- #286 undergraduate calculus: present in part are sequence limits and series, the central-difference derivative, the trapezoidal integral and the FTC as numerical hypotheses; still open are limits and continuity of functions, a differentiability concept, Taylor series, the integral theorems of vector calculus, initial-value problems and the differential algebra.
- #272 Denotational Automatic Differentiation: forward-mode AD by
Dual (a ring, ε² = 0); still open are DualVector with a directional seed, Jacobians computed from it and their chain rule, the OneForm bridge and nonsmooth derivatives.
- #273 Kernel Functions and Feature Maps: the Gaussian kernel; still open are the positive-definiteness witness, the Gabor kernel and the kernel rig (sums and products).
