Umbral presentations for polynomial sequences

Brian D. Taylor

Published 1999-08-24Version 1

Using random variables as motivation, this paper presents an exposition of the formalisms developed by Rota and Taylor for the classical umbral calculus. A variety of examples are presented, culminating in several descriptions of sequences of binomial type in terms of umbral polynomials.
