  2. Taylor's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor's_theorem

    Taylor's theorem is named after the mathematician Brook Taylor, who stated a version of it in 1715, [2] although an earlier version of the result was already mentioned in 1671 by James Gregory. [3] Taylor's theorem is taught in introductory-level calculus courses and is one of the central elementary tools in mathematical analysis.

  3. Abel equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abel_equation

    We have the following existence and uniqueness theorem [9]: Theorem B Let h : R → R {\displaystyle h:\mathbb {R} \to \mathbb {R} } be analytic , meaning it has a Taylor expansion. To find: real analytic solutions α : R → C {\displaystyle \alpha :\mathbb {R} \to \mathbb {C} } of the Abel equation α ∘ h = α + 1 {\textstyle \alpha \circ h ...

    For a function (,,) in three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate variables, the gradient is the vector field: ⁡ = = (, , ) = + + where i, j, k are the standard unit vectors for the x, y, z-axes.

  5. Normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution

    The formula for the distribution then becomes f ( x ) = τ 2 π e − τ ( x − μ ) 2 / 2 . {\displaystyle f(x)={\sqrt {\frac {\tau }{2\pi }}}e^{-\tau (x-\mu )^{2}/2}.} This choice is claimed to have advantages in numerical computations when σ {\textstyle \sigma } is very close to zero, and simplifies formulas in some contexts, such as in ...

    The extremely slow convergence of the arctangent series for | | makes this formula impractical per se. Kerala-school mathematicians used additional correction terms to speed convergence. John Machin (1706) expressed ⁠ 1 4 π {\displaystyle {\tfrac {1}{4}}\pi } ⁠ as a sum of arctangents of smaller values, eventually resulting in a variety of ...

    Taylor's interest rate equation has come to be known as the Taylor rule, and it is now widely accepted as an effective formula for monetary decision making. [ 31 ] A key stipulation of the Taylor rule, sometimes called the Taylor principle , [ 32 ] is that the nominal interest rate should increase by more than one percentage point for each one ...

    is known as Campbell's formula [2] or Campbell's theorem, [1] [12] [13] which gives a method for calculating expectations of sums of measurable functions with ranges on the real line. More specifically, for a point process N {\displaystyle N} and a measurable function f : R d → R {\displaystyle f:{\textbf {R}}^{d}\rightarrow {\textbf {R ...
