A one parameter generalization of Euler's constant γ from [Numer. Algorithms 46(2) (2007) 141--151] is investigated, and additional expressions for γ are derived. Included are forms involving the Gregory coefficients and the Hurwitz Zeta function,

Concise and convenient bounds are obtained for the probability mass and cumulative distribution functions associated with the first success run of length k k in a sequence of n n Bernoulli trials. Results are compared to an approximation obtained by

The problem of determining minimal time trajectories in a plane constrained by an upper bound on the magnitude of the acceleration vector is reexamined. In the previous work [Am. J. Phys. 49(7), 685–688 (1981)], a stationary solution of a functiona

Probability and expectation are two distinct measures, both of which can be used to indicate the likelihood of certain events. However, expectation values, which are often associated with waiting times for success, may, at times, speak more clearly a
