Mathematical methods and special functions have long served as the backbone of modern theoretical physics and applied mathematics. These tools enable researchers to solve complex differential ...

Method and variable handles vs. Java reflection To truly understand MethodHandles and VarHandles —what they do and why they are useful—it’s helpful to know a few things about reflection in Java.

In my previous post, I looked at some of the problems associated with long parameters lists for methods and constructors. In that post, I discussed replacing primitives and built-in types with ...
