What is Applications: Definition and 662 Discussions
An application program (app or application for short) is a computer program designed to carry out a specific task other than one relating to the operation of the computer itself, typically to be used by end-users. Examples of an application include a word processor and a media player. The collective noun refers to all applications collectively. The other principal classifications of software are system software, relating to the operation of the computer, and utility software ("utilities").
Applications may be bundled with the computer and its system software or published separately and may be coded as proprietary, open-source, or projects. Apps built for mobile platforms are called mobile apps.
has any work been done trying to understand the properties of long chains of oscillatory functions?
like f(x) = sin(sin(sin(sin(cos(sin(cos(x))))))) for example, or something like e^e^e^e^e^e^e^e^e^e^z)
Okay so I need help with 2 problems. One I did a bunch of work for but I am not sure if my answers right, and the second I'm not sure how to start it.

So, I am taking introduction to real analysis next semester, and I heard that it may be a challenging course. But what I want to know is the applications of real analysis, which I imagine there are some of, considering how the phrase "real analysis" seem to be thrown around quite a bit. Thanks.

I am reading some papers that mention evanescent waves. From what I can find, evanescent waves occur because of the Maxwell Boundary Conditions but I don't really see how. Could some please comment on this or just on the general topic. Thanks!
Can you think of some recent advances in Maths (i.e. an physics undergrad won't know) that are at least vaguely related to some real world applications (i.e. life would be harder without them)?
Some new tools, tricks or methods?
Maybe some new concept apart from algorithmic improvements for speed.
