§24.18 Physical Applications
Bernoulli polynomials appear in statistical physics (Ordóñez and Driebe (1996)), in discussions of Casimir forces (Li et al. (1991)), and in a study of quark-gluon plasma (Meisinger et al. (2002)). Euler polynomials also appear in statistical physics as well as in semi-classical approximations to quantum probability distributions (Ballentine and McRae (1998)).

Phase changes around the zeros are of opposite sign to those around the poles. The fluid flow analogy in this case involves a line of vortices of alternating sign of circulation, resulting in a near cancellation of flow far from the real axis.
