Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Functional Synthesis of Linear Plots
Consider a function F Of the independent variables x1, x2, xm; yl, y2 yp; 21, 22, zqg and ul, u2, such that a straight line results when we plot F against any x on ordinary Cartesian graph paper, against any y on semi-log paper, or against any z on double-log paper. Let the u's denote all other variables on which F may depend, but for which no such linear property exists. It is understood, Of course, that in practice such linearity may hold only approximately, and only for a certain bounded range Of the variable used as abscissa, and only for certain bounded ranges Of the remaining variables, which appear as parameters. In this analysis, however, we relax these restrictions, assuming that each plot is a straight line for all values Of abscissa and parameters.
