Talk:Trigonometric rational function
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Removed - Beck's Rule is a handy calculus rule-of-thumb devised by Richard Beck (1987- 2004).
Moved this out. I suspect the date was a bad-taste joke. Anyway, this page can be about limits of such functions, but as usual L'Hopital is the vulgar way to do it, and a much better discussion should be put in place.

The date is obviously in bad taste; however, there is a relatively obscure mathematician known as Richard Sharpless Beck who used this rule to great effect. He was one of the contemporaries of Colin Maclaurin, to give you an idea of the timeframe.

Why should this article treat only limits of trigonometric rational functions? If it does that, shouldn't it be called limits of trigonometric rational functions? Michael Hardy 00:11, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- No reason. You know any good trig rational functions? I suppose the Poisson kernel for the circle is one. The summation of the GP with ratio z, a complex number written in polar form, would be another good one. Charles Matthews 10:11, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
