  2. Taylor's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor's_theorem

    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 k {\textstyle k} of the Taylor series of the function.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus_on_Euclidean_space

    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:

    In the Middle East, Hasan Ibn al-Haytham, Latinized as Alhazen (c. 965 – c. 1040 AD) derived a formula for the sum of fourth powers. He determined the equations to calculate the area enclosed by the curve represented by y = x k {\displaystyle y=x^{k}} (which translates to the integral ∫ x k d x {\displaystyle \int x^{k}\,dx} in contemporary ...

    The Feynman Lectures on Physics is a physics textbook based on a great number of lectures by Richard Feynman, a Nobel laureate who has sometimes been called "The Great Explainer". [1] The lectures were presented before undergraduate students at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), during 1961–1964.

  8. Frenet–Serret formulas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frenet–Serret_formulas

    The first Frenet-Serret formula holds by the definition of the normal N and the curvature κ, and the third Frenet-Serret formula holds by the definition of the torsion τ. Thus what is needed is to show the second Frenet-Serret formula. Since T, N, B are orthogonal unit vectors with B = T × N, one also has T = N × B and N = B × T.

  9. Direct comparison test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_comparison_test

    In mathematics, the comparison test, sometimes called the direct comparison test to distinguish it from similar related tests (especially the limit comparison test), provides a way of deducing whether an infinite series or an improper integral converges or diverges by comparing the series or integral to one whose convergence properties are known.
