The use of the word “moment” in mathematics is related to its use in physics, as in moment arm or moment of inertia. For a non-negative integer n, the nth moment of a function f is the integral of xn over the function’s domain. Uniqueness If two continuous functions f and g have all the […] The post When do moments determine a function? first appeared on John D. Cook....
