1. hypergeometric - Noun
2. hypergeometric - Adjective
hypergeometric (not comparable)
(mathematics) Pertaining to mathematical entities of different kinds (series, functions, equations, ...) but strictly related to hypergeometric series
hypergeometric (plural hypergeometrics)
(mathematics) Such a function, series etc.
Euler had already considered the hypergeometric series : on which Gauss published a memoir in 1812. Source: Internet
He also worked with hypergeometric differential equations in 1857 using complex analytical methods and presented the solutions through the behavior of closed paths about singularities (described by the monodromy matrix ). Source: Internet
When the mean μ is not zero, the plain and absolute moments can be expressed in terms of confluent hypergeometric functions 1 F 1 and U. : : These expressions remain valid even if p is not integer. Source: Internet
Riemann however used such functions for conformal maps (such as mapping topological triangles to the circle) in his 1859 lecture on hypergeometric functions or in his treatise on minimal surfaces. Source: Internet
