    Characterisation 3 involves defining the natural logarithm before the exponential function is defined. First, This means that the natural logarithm of equals the (signed) area under the graph of between and . If , then this area is taken to be negative. Then, is defined as the inverse of , meaning that by the definition of an inverse function.

  3. Exponential function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_function

    Exponential functions with bases 2 and 1/2. The exponential function is a mathematical function denoted by () = ⁡ or (where the argument x is written as an exponent).Unless otherwise specified, the term generally refers to the positive-valued function of a real variable, although it can be extended to the complex numbers or generalized to other mathematical objects like matrices or Lie algebras.

  4. Exponentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation

    The exponential function is often defined as , where is Euler's number. To avoid circular reasoning , this definition cannot be used here. So, a definition of the exponential function, denoted exp ⁡ ( x ) , {\displaystyle \exp(x),} and of Euler's number are given, which rely only on exponentiation with positive integer exponents.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_formula

    v. t. e. Euler's formula, named after Leonhard Euler, is a mathematical formula in complex analysis that establishes the fundamental relationship between the trigonometric functions and the complex exponential function. Euler's formula states that, for any real number x, one has where e is the base of the natural logarithm, i is the imaginary ...

    In mathematics, the sophomore's dream is the pair of identities (especially the first) discovered in 1697 by Johann Bernoulli. The numerical values of these constants are approximately 1.291285997... and 0.7834305107..., respectively. The name "sophomore's dream" [1] is in contrast to the name "freshman's dream" which is given to the incorrect ...

  8. Elementary function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_function

    Elementary function. In mathematics, an elementary function is a function of a single variable (typically real or complex) that is defined as taking sums, products, roots and compositions of finitely many polynomial, rational, trigonometric, hyperbolic, and exponential functions, and their inverses (e.g., arcsin, log, or x1/n).

  9. Taylor's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor's_theorem

    v. t. e. 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 of the Taylor series of the function.
