  2. Taylor series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_series

    The Taylor series of any polynomial is the polynomial itself.. The Maclaurin series of ⁠ 1 / 1 − x ⁠ is the geometric series + + + +. So, by substituting x for 1 − x, the Taylor series of ⁠ 1 / x ⁠ at a = 1 is

  3. Taylor's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor's_theorem

    In calculus, Taylor's theorem gives an approximation of a -times differentiable function around a given point by a polynomial of degree , called the -th-order Taylor polynomial. For a smooth function , the Taylor polynomial is the truncation at the order k {\textstyle k} of the Taylor series of the function.

  4. Universal Taylor series - Wikipedia

    Thus to -approximate () = using a polynomial with lowest degree 3, we do so for () with < / by truncating its Taylor expansion. Now iterate this construction by plugging in the lowest-degree-3 approximation into the Taylor expansion of g ( x ) {\displaystyle g(x)} , obtaining an approximation of lowest degree 9, 27, 81...

    This list of mathematical series contains formulae for finite and infinite sums. It can be used in conjunction with other tools for evaluating sums. Here, is taken to have the value {} denotes the fractional part of () is a Bernoulli polynomial.

  6. Even and odd functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Even_and_odd_functions

    The sine function and all of its Taylor polynomials are odd functions. The cosine function and all of its Taylor polynomials are even functions. In mathematics , an even function is a real function such that f ( − x ) = f ( x ) {\displaystyle f(-x)=f(x)} for every x {\displaystyle x} in its domain .

  8. Differential calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_calculus

    Taylor's theorem gives a precise bound on how good the approximation is. If f is a polynomial of degree less than or equal to d, then the Taylor polynomial of degree d equals f. The limit of the Taylor polynomials is an infinite series called the Taylor series. The Taylor series is frequently a very good approximation to the original function.

  9. Euler numbers - Wikipedia
