Name: Partial Fraction Expansion
ID: m2111
Language: English (en)
Summary: This module describes the method of partial fraction expansion, in which a ratio of polynomials can be split into a sum of small polynomials. The Heaviside cover-up method is discussed in detail with examples. Finding a partial fraction expansion in matlab is also discussed.
Subject: Science and Technology
Keywords: cover-up, fraction, heaviside, partial fraction, polynomial, repeated root
