### V10's Operator Forms - what are they good for?

V10 introduces an operator form for several functions perhaps primarily due to their role in queries as part of introducing data science functionality. At first pass it seems a lot of effort to add ...

### Parameter Estimation of a mixture of sums of Lognormals

Let $X$ be a random variable that is of a mixture distribution of two lognormals (with the same sigma), so $X \approx p\cdot \mathcal L (\mu_1, \sigma) + (1-p)\cdot \mathcal L (\mu_2,\sigma)$. Now ...

### Solving a trigonometric equation with one parameter

I have the following equation: 2 a^2 k^2 Sin[b k] - 6 a (k Cos[b k] - Sin[b k]/b) == 0 I set the value of b to 1, and I want ...

### the winding number for the circle map (Arnold tongue)

I want to perform an iterative calculation and visualize the results: f[n_, a_, b_] := Nest[# + a - b Sin[2 π #] &, 0, n]/n; If I use machine precision, it ...

### Why does Mathematica appear to change the head of certain expressions?

I don't know if the question trivial or not (if so I will delete it), but here is what I have: I know that x x (* x^2 *) Looking at the full form gives ...
