integrate( lambda(y),x^2+y^2)) could be mechanically converted to integrate(x^2+y^2, y)
and vice versa. There is a name for this in lambda calculus. alpha conversion or some such thing. Should you do this? doesn't matter. But if so, do it for summation, products, plotting, etc. On Saturday, April 9, 2016 at 5:38:33 PM UTC-7, Nils Bruin wrote: > > On Saturday, April 9, 2016 at 9:17:27 AM UTC-7, David Roe wrote: >> >> >> Is there any ambiguity? g is a function of one variable and we're >> specifying the variable of integration.
