Extract

1. Let f(x) be a real function of a real variable x. The meanings of when λ is a positive integer, a negative integer and zero, are well known. In the first case, denotes the λth integral of f(x) with respect to x, with an arbitrary lower limit of integration. In the second case, stands for the (−λ)th differential coefficient of f(x) with respect to x. Lastly, when λ = 0, means f(x).
