  2. Taylor series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_series

    That is, the Taylor series diverges at x if the distance between x and b is larger than the radius of convergence. The Taylor series can be used to calculate the value of an entire function at every point, if the value of the function, and of all of its derivatives, are known at a single point. Uses of the Taylor series for analytic functions ...

  3. Taylor's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor's_theorem

    v. t. e. In calculus, Taylor's theorem gives an approximation of a -times differentiable function around a given point by a polynomial of degree , called the -th-order Taylor polynomial. For a smooth function, the Taylor polynomial is the truncation at the order of the Taylor series of the function.

  4. Residue (complex analysis) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residue_(complex_analysis)

    e. In mathematics, more specifically complex analysis, the residue is a complex number proportional to the contour integral of a meromorphic function along a path enclosing one of its singularities.

  5. Radius of convergence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radius_of_convergence

    Two cases arise: The first case is theoretical: when you know all the coefficients then you take certain limits and find the precise radius of convergence.; The second case is practical: when you construct a power series solution of a difficult problem you typically will only know a finite number of terms in a power series, anywhere from a couple of terms to a hundred terms.

  6. Critical resolved shear stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_resolved_shear_stress

    The Schmid factor is most applicable to FCC single-crystal metals, [3] but for polycrystal metals the Taylor factor has been shown to be more accurate. [4] The CRSS is the value of resolved shear stress at which yielding of the grain occurs, marking the onset of plastic deformation. CRSS, therefore, is a material property and is not dependent ...

  7. Bernoulli number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli_number

    In mathematics, the Bernoulli numbers B n are a sequence of rational numbers which occur frequently in analysis.The Bernoulli numbers appear in (and can be defined by) the Taylor series expansions of the tangent and hyperbolic tangent functions, in Faulhaber's formula for the sum of m-th powers of the first n positive integers, in the Euler–Maclaurin formula, and in expressions for certain ...

  8. Rate of convergence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_of_convergence

    t. e. In mathematical analysis, particularly numerical analysis, the rate of convergence and order of convergence of a sequence that converges to a limit are any of several characterizations of how quickly that sequence approaches its limit. These are broadly divided into rates and orders of convergence that describe how quickly a sequence ...

  9. Methods of computing square roots - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_of_computing...

    Other methods are available to compute the square root digit by digit, or using Taylor series. Rational approximations of square roots may be calculated using continued fraction expansions. The method employed depends on the needed accuracy, and the available tools and computational power.
