  2. List of trigonometric identities - Wikipedia

    In particular, in these two identities an asymmetry appears that is not seen in the case of sums of finitely many angles: in each product, there are only finitely many sine factors but there are cofinitely many cosine factors. Terms with infinitely many sine factors would necessarily be equal to zero. When only finitely many of the angles are ...

  3. Small-angle approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small-angle_approximation

    The sine and tangent small-angle approximations are used in relation to the double-slit experiment or a diffraction grating to develop simplified equations like the following, where y is the distance of a fringe from the center of maximum light intensity, m is the order of the fringe, D is the distance between the slits and projection screen ...

    The precise uses and capabilities of these systems differ greatly from one system to another, yet their purpose remains the same: manipulation of symbolic equations. Computer algebra systems often include facilities for graphing equations and provide a programming language for the users' own procedures.

  5. Infinite product - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_product

    The same criterion applies to products of arbitrary complex numbers (including negative reals) if the logarithm is understood as a fixed branch of logarithm which satisfies ⁡ =, with the provision that the infinite product diverges when infinitely many a n fall outside the domain of , whereas finitely many such a n can be ignored in the sum.

  6. Exact trigonometric values - Wikipedia

    If the denominator, b, is multiplied by additional factors of 2, the sine and cosine can be derived with the half-angle formulas. For example, 22.5° (π /8 rad) is half of 45°, so its sine and cosine are: [11]

  7. Dottie number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dottie_number

    In mathematics, the Dottie number or the cosine constant is a constant that is the unique real root of the equation ⁡ =, where the argument of is in radians. The decimal expansion of the Dottie number is given by: D = 0.739 085 133 215 160 641 655 312 087 673... (sequence A003957 in the OEIS).

  8. Underdetermined system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underdetermined_system

    The main property of linear underdetermined systems, of having either no solution or infinitely many, extends to systems of polynomial equations in the following way. A system of polynomial equations which has fewer equations than unknowns is said to be underdetermined .

  9. Generating function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generating_function

    In mathematics, a generating function is a representation of an infinite sequence of numbers as the coefficients of a formal power series.Generating functions are often expressed in closed form (rather than as a series), by some expression involving operations on the formal series.
