  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. Sinc numerical methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinc_numerical_methods

    Sinc approximation methods excel for problems whose solutions may have singularities, or infinite domains, or boundary layers. The truncated Sinc expansion of f is defined by the following series: C M , N ( f , h ) ( x ) = ∑ k = − M N f ( k h ) sinc ( x h − k ) {\displaystyle C_{M,N}(f,h)(x)=\displaystyle \sum _{k=-M}^{N}f(kh)\,{\textrm ...

    The small-angle approximation for the sine function. The Taylor series expansions of trigonometric functions sine, cosine, and tangent near zero are: [5] ...

    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.

    If X is a diagonal matrix, sin X and cos X are also diagonal matrices with (sin X) nn = sin(X nn) and (cos X) nn = cos(X nn), that is, they can be calculated by simply taking the sines or cosines of the matrices's diagonal components. The analogs of the trigonometric addition formulas are true if and only if XY = YX: [2]

  7. Series expansion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_expansion

    A Laurent series is a generalization of the Taylor series, allowing terms with negative exponents; it takes the form = and converges in an annulus. [6] In particular, a Laurent series can be used to examine the behavior of a complex function near a singularity by considering the series expansion on an annulus centered at the singularity.

  8. List of mathematical series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_series

    An infinite series of any rational function of can be reduced to a finite series of polygamma functions, by use of partial fraction decomposition, [8] as explained here. This fact can also be applied to finite series of rational functions, allowing the result to be computed in constant time even when the series contains a large number of terms.

  9. Radius of convergence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radius_of_convergence

    For sin(10), one requires the first 18 terms of the series, and for sin(100) we need to evaluate the first 141 terms. So for these particular values the fastest convergence of a power series expansion is at the center, and as one moves away from the center of convergence, the rate of convergence slows down until you reach the boundary (if it ...
