    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.

    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 ...

    Simulation illustrating the law of large numbers. Each frame, a coin that is red on one side and blue on the other is flipped, and a dot is added in the corresponding column. A pie chart shows the proportion of red and blue so far. Notice that while the proportion varies significantly at first, it approaches 50% as the number of trials increases.

    The formula generalizes the fundamental theorem of calculus as well as Stokes' theorem in multivariable calculus. Indeed, if M = [ a , b ] {\displaystyle M=[a,b]} is an interval and ω = f {\displaystyle \omega =f} , then d ω = f ′ d x {\displaystyle d\omega =f'\,dx} and the formula says:

  9. Methods of computing square roots - Wikipedia

    From the multiplication tables, the square root of the mantissa must be 8 point something because a is between 8×8 = 64 and 9×9 = 81, so k is 8; something is the decimal representation of R. The fraction R is 75 − k 2 = 11, the numerator, and 81 − k 2 = 17, the denominator. 11/17 is a little less than 12/18 = 2/3 = .67, so guess .66 (it's ...
