CALCULUS CROSSWORD ONE
Across
- 3. Mathematician whose triangle displays binomial coefficients
- 5. Mathematician whose number you get closer to when you take 1 plus 1 divided by a very large number, and then raise the whole thing to the power of that large number
- 8. The smallest positive length over which a function repeats its range values
- 11. A function with reflective symmetry about the y-axis; f(–x) = f(x)
