Abstract

We shall end Part IV by examining very briefly one particular class of functions: namely powers x α , otherwise known as exponential functions. Our aim in so doing is simply to indicate the richness and the complexity of our own mathematical experience of such functions, and to consider how this complex experience might lead us eventually to appreciate the way exponential functions are usually treated in an analysis course.
