  2. Stirling's approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling's_approximation

    The formula was first discovered by Abraham de Moivre [2] in the form ! [] +. De Moivre gave an approximate rational-number expression for the natural logarithm of the constant. Stirling's contribution consisted of showing that the constant is precisely 2 π {\displaystyle {\sqrt {2\pi }}} .

  3. Stirling numbers of the first kind - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling_numbers_of_the...

    A two-sum formula can be obtained using one of the symmetric formulae for Stirling numbers in conjunction with the explicit formula for Stirling numbers of the second kind. [ n k ] = ∑ j = n 2 n − k ( j − 1 k − 1 ) ( 2 n − k j ) ∑ m = 0 j − n ( − 1 ) m + n − k m j − k m !

    Michael Stifel published the following method in 1544. [3] [4] Consider the sequence of mixed numbers,,,, … with = + +.To calculate a Pythagorean triple, take any term of this sequence and convert it to an improper fraction (for mixed number , the corresponding improper fraction is ).

  5. Pell number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pell_number

    In words, the sequence of Pell numbers starts with 0 and 1, and then each Pell number is the sum of twice the previous Pell number, plus the Pell number before that. The first few terms of the sequence are 0, 1, 2, 5, 12, 29, 70, 169, 408, 985, 2378, 5741, 13860, … (sequence A000129 in the OEIS).

  6. Richardson extrapolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richardson_extrapolation

    In numerical analysis, Richardson extrapolation is a sequence acceleration method used to improve the rate of convergence of a sequence of estimates of some value = (). In essence, given the value of A ( h ) {\displaystyle A(h)} for several values of h {\displaystyle h} , we can estimate A ∗ {\displaystyle A^{\ast }} by extrapolating the ...

  7. Arithmetic progression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_progression

    Proof without words of the arithmetic progression formulas using a rotated copy of the blocks. An arithmetic progression or arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers such that the difference from any succeeding term to its preceding term remains constant throughout the sequence. The constant difference is called common difference of that ...

  8. Whittaker–Shannon interpolation formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whittaker–Shannon...

    The Whittaker–Shannon interpolation formula or sinc interpolation is a method to construct a continuous-time bandlimited function from a sequence of real numbers. The formula dates back to the works of E. Borel in 1898, and E. T. Whittaker in 1915, and was cited from works of J. M. Whittaker in 1935, and in the formulation of the Nyquist–Shannon sampling theorem by Claude Shannon in 1949.

  9. Euler numbers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_numbers

    In mathematics, the Euler numbers are a sequence E n of integers (sequence A122045 in the OEIS) defined by the Taylor series expansion ⁡ = + = =!, where ⁡ is the hyperbolic cosine function.
