Legendre polynomials

In physical science and mathematics, Legendre polynomials (named after Adrien-Marie Legendre, who discovered them in 1782) are a system of complete and orthogonal polynomials, with a vast number of mathematical properties, and numerous applications. They can be defined in many ways, and the various definitions highlight different aspects as well as suggest generalizations and connections to different mathematical structures and physical and numerical applications. Closely related to the Legendre polynomials are associated Legendre polynomials, Legendre functions, Legendre functions of the second kind, and associated Legendre functions. (Wikipedia).

Advice for Research Maths | Properties of Legendre and Gegenbauer polynomials | Wild Egg Maths

To try to understand how to apply two dimensional maxel magic to the family of Legendre polynomials, let's look at some properties of these polynumbers, including differential equations, connections with Chebyshev polynomials, and how they arise from the geometry of the sphere and an assoc

Theory of numbers: Jacobi symbol

This lecture is part of an online undergraduate course on the theory of numbers. We define the Jacobi symbol as an extension of the Legendre symbol, and show how to use it to calculate the Legendre symbol fast. We also briefly mention the Kronecker symbol. For the other lectures in t
