In this manuscript, we present a survey of some general results of the Hermite polynomials and show a few of their applications in the connection problem of polynomials, probability theory and the combinatorics of a simple graph. Most of the content presented here is well known, except for a few sections where we add our own work to the subject, nevertheless, the text is meant to be a self-contained personal exposition.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-01-07T02:40:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "33C45" ], "keywords": [ "hermite polynomials", "digression", "orthogonal polynomials", "self-contained personal exposition", "fundamental importance" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 43, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
