Functional Equations and L'Hopital's Rule in an Exact Poisson Derivation.

Aczel, J.

American Mathematical Monthly, v97 n5 p423-26 May 1990

Presented is a Poisson derivation using explicitly stated assumptions and exact functional equations. The assumptions are homogeneity, independence, and negligibility. Included are the derivations and proofs using L'Hopital's rule for each assumption. (KR)
