  2. Exponentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation

    In mathematics, exponentiation, denoted b n, is an operation involving two numbers: the base, b, and the exponent or power, n. [1] When n is a positive integer, exponentiation corresponds to repeated multiplication of the base: that is, b n is the product of multiplying n bases: [1] = ⏟.

  3. Exponential function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_function

    Exponential functions with bases 2 and 1/2. In mathematics, the exponential function is the unique real function which maps zero to one and has a derivative equal to its value. . The exponential of a variable ⁠ ⁠ is denoted ⁠ ⁡ ⁠ or ⁠ ⁠, with the two notations used interchangeab

  4. Bernoulli number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli_number

    The arithmetic mean of the first and the second Bernoulli numbers are the associate Bernoulli numbers: B 0 = 1, B 1 = 0, B 2 = ⁠ 1 / 6 ⁠, B 3 = 0, B 4 = − ⁠ 1 / 30 ⁠, OEIS: A176327 / OEIS: A027642. Via the second row of its inverse Akiyama–Tanigawa transform OEIS: A177427, they lead to Balmer series OEIS: A061037 / OEIS: A061038.

  5. Characterizations of the exponential function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characterizations_of_the...

    In mathematics, the exponential function can be characterized in many ways. This article presents some common characterizations, discusses why each makes sense, and proves that they are all equivalent. The exponential function occurs naturally in many branches of mathematics. Walter Rudin called it "the most important function in mathematics". [1]

  6. Euler's identity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_identity

    The computation of (1 + ⁠ iπ / N ⁠) N is displayed as the combined effect of N repeated multiplications in the complex plane, with the final point being the actual value of (1 + ⁠ iπ / N ⁠) N. It can be seen that as N gets larger (1 + ⁠ iπ / N ⁠) N approaches a limit of −1. Euler's identity asserts that is

  7. Binomial approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_approximation

    [1] The approximation can be proven several ways, and is closely related to the binomial theorem . By Bernoulli's inequality , the left-hand side of the approximation is greater than or equal to the right-hand side whenever x > − 1 {\displaystyle x>-1} and α ≥ 1 {\displaystyle \alpha \geq 1} .

  8. Double exponential function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_exponential_function

    A double exponential function (red curve) compared to a single exponential function (blue curve). A double exponential function is a constant raised to the power of an exponential function . The general formula is f ( x ) = a b x = a ( b x ) {\displaystyle f(x)=a^{b^{x}}=a^{(b^{x})}} (where a >1 and b >1), which grows much more quickly than an ...
