Talk:Q-analog
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
q-analogs in finite expressions do not require q to approach 1 in a special way. Therefore, I removed from the "Introductory examples" the restriction on how q approaches 1. The text is
- For convenience, the limit as q → 1 inside the unit circle is written as the limit as q → 1− (which suggests the limit through real values tending up to 1; that is in fact more restricted, though the difference is not usually significant).
If someone adds examples of infinite series, where it does matter how q varies in the limit, then they may want to use this text. Zaslav 03:11, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
Why does one do this? What motivated people to study these? —vivacissamamente (talk) 23:10, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
