  2. Taylor series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_series

    The Taylor series of any polynomial is the polynomial itself.. The Maclaurin series of ⁠ 1 / 1 − x ⁠ is the geometric series + + + +. So, by substituting x for 1 − x, the Taylor series of ⁠ 1 / x ⁠ at a = 1 is

  3. Error function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_function

    n = 1 that yield a minimax approximation or bound for the closely related Q-function: Q(x) ≈ Q̃(x), Q(x) ≤ Q̃(x), or Q(x) ≥ Q̃(x) for x ≥ 0. The coefficients {(a n,b n)} N n = 1 for many variations of the exponential approximations and bounds up to N = 25 have been released to open access as a comprehensive dataset. [16]

  4. 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.

  5. Small-angle approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small-angle_approximation

    The most direct method is to truncate the Maclaurin series for each of the trigonometric functions. Depending on the order of the approximation , cos ⁡ θ {\displaystyle \textstyle \cos \theta } is approximated as either 1 {\displaystyle 1} or as 1 − 1 2 θ 2 {\textstyle 1-{\frac {1}{2}}\theta ^{2}} .

  6. Logarithmic distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_distribution

    In probability and statistics, the logarithmic distribution (also known as the logarithmic series distribution or the log-series distribution) is a discrete probability distribution derived from the Maclaurin series expansion ⁡ = + + +.

  7. List of limits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_limits

    In general, any infinite series is the limit of its partial sums. For example, an analytic function is the limit of its Taylor series, within its radius of convergence. = =. This is known as the harmonic series. [6]

  8. Integral test for convergence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral_test_for_convergence

    In mathematics, the integral test for convergence is a method used to test infinite series of monotonic terms for convergence. It was developed by Colin Maclaurin and Augustin-Louis Cauchy and is sometimes known as the Maclaurin–Cauchy test.

  9. Euler–Maclaurin formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler–Maclaurin_formula

    In mathematics, the Euler–Maclaurin formula is a formula for the difference between an integral and a closely related sum.It can be used to approximate integrals by finite sums, or conversely to evaluate finite sums and infinite series using integrals and the machinery of calculus.
