  org.jscience.mathematics.analysis.taylor.TaylorDouble
      org.jscience.mathematics.analysis.taylor.TaylorParameter

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class TaylorParameter
extends TaylorDouble

Implementation of a function that is constant with respect to the independent variable t, but that will need to be varied during calculations.

Constructor Summary

TaylorParameter(double a)
Construct new parameter of value a.

Method Summary

void	calcOrder(int k) Set kth Taylor coefficient - all except the first are zero.
double	evaluate(double t) Evaluation is simply a0
void	reset() The reset method is empty for TaylorParameter, since Taylor coefficients are unaffected by change of expansion point.
void	setValue(double a) Set the value of this parameter to a.
