  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

    Here φ is the angle that a line connecting the origin with a point on the unit circle makes with the positive real axis, measured counterclockwise and in radians. The original proof is based on the Taylor series expansions of the exponential function e z (where z is a complex number) and of sin x and cos x for real numbers x .

  4. Exponential function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_function

    In this setting, e 0 = 1, and e x is invertible with inverse ex for any x in B. If xy = yx, then e x + y = e x e y, but this identity can fail for noncommuting x and y. Some alternative definitions lead to the same function. For instance, e x can be defined as (+).

  5. Characterizations of the exponential function - Wikipedia

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

    The six most common definitions of the exponential function ⁡ = for real values are as follows.. Product limit. Define by the limit: = (+).; Power series. Define e x as the value of the infinite series = =! = + +! +! +! + (Here n! denotes the factorial of n.

  6. Matrix exponential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_exponential

    We begin with the properties that are immediate consequences of the definition as a power series: e 0 = I; exp(X T) = (exp X) T, where X T denotes the transpose of X. exp(X ∗) = (exp X) ∗, where X ∗ denotes the conjugate transpose of X. If Y is invertible then e YXY −1 = Ye X Y −1. The next key result is this one:

  7. Euler's identity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_identity

    The number e (e = 2.71828...), also known as Euler's number, which occurs widely in mathematical analysis The number i , the imaginary unit such that i 2 = − 1 {\displaystyle i^{2}=-1} The equation is often given in the form of an expression set equal to zero, which is common practice in several areas of mathematics.

  8. Taylor expansions for the moments of functions of random ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_expansions_for_the...

    In probability theory, it is possible to approximate the moments of a function f of a random variable X using Taylor expansions, provided that f is sufficiently differentiable and that the moments of X are finite. A simulation-based alternative to this approximation is the application of Monte Carlo simulations.

  9. Logistic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_function

    The standard logistic function is the logistic function with parameters =, =, =, which yields = + = + = / / + /.In practice, due to the nature of the exponential function, it is often sufficient to compute the standard logistic function for over a small range of real numbers, such as a range contained in [−6, +6], as it quickly converges very close to its saturation values of 0 and 1.
