Thank you all for responding. Yes, the number N stand for the normalization constant, and in the wikipedia article posted by micromass the exponent is exactly the normalization: e^{-\lambda}, so i does not vary with k.

Hi. In my homework I've encountered a discrete probability distribution of this form: f(k,\lambda)=N \frac{\lambda^k}{k!} k is the variable, and \lambda is a parameter. I'm curious what is this distribution - what's its name and where can it be applied. I will be grateful for, for...

Basic exercise for finding a Lagrangian from the Landau's "Mechanics" Hello everyone! Homework Statement I've just started preparing for the classical mechanics course using only Landau & Lifgarbagez, so I'm doing everything according to their formulation. And so I solved an exercise...
