A polynomial with 2k critical values at infinity

Janusz Gwoździewicz, Maciej Sękalski (2004)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We construct a polynomial f:ℂ² → ℂ of degree 4k+2 with no critical points in ℂ² and with 2k critical values at infinity.

Perturbations of Critical Values in Nonsmooth Critical Point Theory

Priority, parallel discovery, and pre-eminence Napier, Bürgi and the early history of the logarithm relation

Kathleen M. Clark, Clemency Montelle (2012)

Revue d'histoire des mathématiques

Similarity:

There has never been any doubt as to the importance of the logarithm, a mathematical relation whose usefulness has persisted in different aspects to the present day. Within years of their introduction, logarithms became indispensable for mathematicians, astronomers, navigators, and geographers alike. The question of their origins, however, is more contentious. At least two scholars, the Scottish nobleman John Napier and the Swiss craftsman Jost Bürgi, simultaneously and independently...
