Moment Generating Function

Famous quotes containing the words moment and/or function:

    “Do you mistake me?
    I am speaking of living,
    of moving from one moment into
    the next, and into the
    one after, breathing
    death in the spring air....”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “Our father has an even more important function than modeling manhood for us. He is also the authority to let us relax the requirements of the masculine model: if our father accepts us, then that declares us masculine enough to join the company of men. We, in effect, have our diploma in masculinity and can go on to develop other skills.”
    —Frank Pittman (20th century)
