M. isn't a mathematician | +1, the guys who deal in splines always make a big deal out of left and right continuity for making the approximant $c^n$ (for whatever value of $n$ is needed by the application). I too feel that the error function and the sine integral are too important not to at least be given a passing mention in the context of the Fundamental Theorem. | |
