  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.

  3. Euler's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_formula

    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 unit, and cos and sin are the trigonometric functions cosine and sine respectively. This complex exponential function is sometimes denoted cis x ("cosine plus i sine").

  4. 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.

  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 1 − 1 2 θ 2 {\textstyle 1-{\frac {1}{2}}\theta ^{2}} .

  6. 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.

  7. Even and odd functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Even_and_odd_functions

    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 ...

  8. 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.

  9. Euler's identity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_identity

    Euler's identity is a special case of Euler's formula, which states that for any real number x, e i x = cosx + i sin ⁡ x {\displaystyle e^{ix}=\cos x+i\sin x} where the inputs of the trigonometric functions sine and cosine are given in radians .
