  2. Taylor series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_series

    The function e (−1/x 2) is not analytic at x = 0: the Taylor series is identically 0, although the function is not. If f ( x ) is given by a convergent power series in an open disk centred at b in the complex plane (or an interval in the real line), it is said to be analytic in this region.

    2.3 Proof that the series exhibits log-log growth. ... the right hand side can be obtained by setting x = 1 in the Taylor series expansion ...

  4. Taylor's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor's_theorem

    The Taylor series of f converges uniformly to the zero function T f (x) = 0, which is analytic with all coefficients equal to zero. The function f is unequal to this Taylor series, and hence non-analytic. For any order k ∈ N and radius r > 0 there exists M k,r > 0 satisfying the remainder bound above.

  5. Stirling's approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling's_approximation

    The approximation (⁡ +) and its equivalent form ⁡ ⁡ ⁡ + (⁡ + ⁡ (⁡ +)) can be obtained by rearranging Stirling's extended formula and observing a coincidence between the resultant power series and the Taylor series expansion of the hyperbolic sine function.

  6. Universal Taylor series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Taylor_series

    Proof of lemma. The function () = ⁡ (/) is the uniform limit of its Taylor expansion, which starts with degree 3. Also, ‖ ‖ <.Thus to -approximate () = using a polynomial with lowest degree 3, we do so for () with < / by truncating its Taylor expansion.

  7. Analytic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic_function

    The function f(x) defined in the paragraph above is a counterexample, as it is not defined for x = ±i. This explains why the Taylor series of f(x) diverges for |x| > 1, i.e., the radius of convergence is 1 because the complexified function has a pole at distance 1 from the evaluation point 0 and no further poles within the open disc of radius ...

  8. Delta method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_method

    The intuition of the delta method is that any such g function, in a "small enough" range of the function, can be approximated via a first order Taylor series (which is basically a linear function). If the random variable is roughly normal then a linear transformation of it is also normal.

  9. Mercator series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercator_series

    The series was discovered independently by Johannes Hudde (1656) [1] and Isaac Newton (1665) but neither published the result. Nicholas Mercator also independently discovered it, and included values of the series for small values in his 1668 treatise Logarithmotechnia; the general series was included in John Wallis's 1668 review of the book in the Philosophical Transactions.
