Finally it repeatedly runs an arbitrary function which performs lots of different mathematical functions (multiply, divide, with integers, with floating point numbers etc), both in Java and C.

These lighter-weight Java frameworks combine cloud-native flexibility with Java’s time-tested engineering, so you can write responsive code that’s easy to deploy anywhere.

There was no need to give the function a name, such as: basicParabola (x) = x 2. In this sense, lambda functions are unnamed and anonymous. Lambda functions in Java. This discussion on the etymology ...

If you have trouble remembering how to graph different mathematical functions, these simple figures with their dancing arms can help. At the very least, they’ll make you think of math every time ...

David Alan Grier, “Irene Stegun, the Handbook of Mathematical Functions, and the Lingering Influence of the New Deal,” American Mathematical Monthly, 113 #7, August-September 2006, pp. 585-597.

The Handbook of Mathematical Functions by Milton Abramovich and Irene Stegun is the one book I would wish to have on a desert island. Unlike a novel, it withstands infinities of rereadings.

Oracle also introduced and open sourced its own serverless computing offering -- known as Project Fn -- at JavaOne 2017. With Fn, developers using Oracle Cloud Platform can build and run applications ...
