BERNOULLI NUMBERS

BERNOULLI NUMBERS (LET)

Let Subcommand

Generate a sequence of Bernoulli numbers.

For a description of Bernoulli numbers and polynomials, enter the command:
HELP BN

BN is a library function for computing Bernoulli numbers and polynomials. The BERNOULLI NUMBERS command can be used to generate a sequence of Bernoulli numbers.

LET <y> = BERNOULLI NUMBERS FOR I = <start> <inc> <stop>
where <start> is the starting row for the Bernoulli numbers;
          <inc> is the increment for the Bernoulli numbers;
          <stop> is the stopping row for the Bernoulli numbers;
          <y> is a variable where the Bernoulli numbers are saved.

Typically and are 1 and is set to the number of Bernoulli numbers to generate. If and are not 1, then will still contain elements, but the empty rows will be set to 0.

LET Y = BERNOULLI NUMBERS FOR I = 1 1 50

None

BINCDF	= Compute the binomial cumulative distribution function.
BINPDF	= Compute the binomial probability mass function.
BINPPF	= Compute the binomial percent point function.
BINOMIAL	= Compute the binomial coefficients.
EN	= Compute Euler number or polynomial.
