How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T16876410 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Mueller calculus
Mueller calculus is a mathematical framework in polarization optics that uses matrix operations to describe how optical elements transform the Stokes parameters of light.
-
B.
Euler–Maclaurin summation formula
The Euler–Maclaurin summation formula is a fundamental result in analysis that connects sums and integrals, providing powerful asymptotic expansions and error estimates for approximating series by integrals.
-
C.
Bernoulli polynomials
Bernoulli polynomials are a sequence of polynomials deeply connected to number theory and analysis, appearing in the study of special functions, series expansions, and the evaluation of sums of powers of integers.
-
D.
Bernoulli numbers
Bernoulli numbers are a sequence of rational numbers that play a central role in number theory and analysis, especially in formulas for sums of powers of integers and in the study of special functions like the Riemann zeta function.
-
E.
Gauss hypergeometric function
The Gauss hypergeometric function is a special function defined by a power series that generalizes many elementary and higher transcendental functions and plays a central role in mathematical analysis, differential equations, and mathematical physics.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
