SUMMARY:Discrete Calculus through generating functions (Wai Yan Pong\, Cal State Dominguez Hills)
DESCRIPTION:Discrete Calculus studies discrete structures\, such as sequences and graphs\, using techniques similar to those used in Calculus for continuous functions. The basic idea of generating functions is to associate a function with a sequence so that the coefficients of the power series expansion of the function represent the terms of the sequence. They provide a systematic way to encode information about a sequence or a combinatorial structure in a single function\, which can then be manipulated algebraically to obtain various types of results. In this talk\, we will examine a few well-known results about binomial coefficients\, Stirling numbers and Bernoulli numbers using both Discrete Calculus and generating functions as well as the interaction between them.
