  2. Taylor series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_series

    That is, the Taylor series diverges at x if the distance between x and b is larger than the radius of convergence. The Taylor series can be used to calculate the value of an entire function at every point, if the value of the function, and of all of its derivatives, are known at a single point. Uses of the Taylor series for analytic functions ...

  3. 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.

  4. Power rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_rule

    In calculus, the power rule is used to differentiate functions of the form () =, whenever is a real number. Since differentiation is a linear operation on the space of differentiable functions, polynomials can also be differentiated using this rule.

    This class includes Hermite–Obreschkoff methods and Fehlberg methods, as well as methods like the Parker–Sochacki method [17] or Bychkov–Scherbakov method, which compute the coefficients of the Taylor series of the solution y recursively. methods for second order ODEs. We said that all higher-order ODEs can be transformed to first-order ...

  6. Change of variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_of_variables

    Difficult integrals may often be evaluated by changing variables; this is enabled by the substitution rule and is analogous to the use of the chain rule above. Difficult integrals may also be solved by simplifying the integral using a change of variables given by the corresponding Jacobian matrix and determinant . [ 1 ]

  7. Itô's lemma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itô's_lemma

    We derive Itô's lemma by expanding a Taylor series and applying the rules of stochastic calculus. Suppose is an Itô drift-diffusion process that satisfies the stochastic differential equation = +, where B t is a Wiener process.

    Leonhard Euler, [10] disregarding , nevertheless applied this series to = to show that the harmonic series equals the natural logarithm of ; that is, the logarithm of infinity. Nowadays, more formally, one can prove that the harmonic series truncated at N is close to the logarithm of N , when N is large, with the difference converging to the ...
