  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 / 1x ⁠ is the geometric series + + + +. So, by substituting x for 1x, the Taylor series of ⁠ 1 / x ⁠ at a = 1 is

  3. Series expansion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_expansion

    A Laurent series is a generalization of the Taylor series, allowing terms with negative exponents; it takes the form = and converges in an annulus. [6] In particular, a Laurent series can be used to examine the behavior of a complex function near a singularity by considering the series expansion on an annulus centered at the singularity.

  4. Euler–Maclaurin formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler–Maclaurin_formula

    In mathematics, the Euler–Maclaurin formula is a formula for the difference between an integral and a closely related sum.It can be used to approximate integrals by finite sums, or conversely to evaluate finite sums and infinite series using integrals and the machinery of calculus.

  5. Small-angle approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small-angle_approximation

    The most direct method is to truncate the Maclaurin series for each of the trigonometric functions. Depending on the order of the approximation , cos ⁡ θ {\displaystyle \textstyle \cos \theta } is approximated as either 1 {\displaystyle 1} or as 11 2 θ 2 {\textstyle 1-{\frac {1}{2}}\theta ^{2}} .

  6. Euler's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_formula

    Substituting r(cos θ + i sin θ) for e ix and equating real and imaginary parts in this formula gives ⁠ dr / dx ⁠ = 0 and ⁠ dθ / dx ⁠ = 1. Thus, r is a constant, and θ is x + C for some constant C. The initial values r(0) = 1 and θ(0) = 0 come from e 0i = 1, giving r = 1 and θ = x.

    The Maclaurin series of an even function includes only even powers. The Maclaurin series of an odd function includes only odd powers. The Fourier series of a periodic even function includes only cosine terms. The Fourier series of a periodic odd function includes only sine terms. The Fourier transform of a purely real-valued even function is ...

    [1] [10] Another precarious convention used by a small number of authors is to use an uppercase first letter, along with a “ −1 ” superscript: Sin −1 (x), Cos1 (x), Tan −1 (x), etc. [11] Although it is intended to avoid confusion with the reciprocal, which should be represented by sin −1 (x), cos1 (x), etc., or, better, by ...

  9. Power series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_series

    For | x – c | = r, there is no general statement on the convergence of the series. However, Abel's theorem states that if the series is convergent for some value z such that | z – c | = r, then the sum of the series for x = z is the limit of the sum of the series for x = c + t (z – c) where t is a real variable less than 1 that tends to 1.
