  2. Taylor's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor's_theorem

    The Taylor series of f converges uniformly to the zero function T f (x) = 0, which is analytic with all coefficients equal to zero. The function f is unequal to this Taylor series, and hence non-analytic. For any order k ∈ N and radius r > 0 there exists M k,r > 0 satisfying the remainder bound above.

  3. Taylor series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_series

    That is, the Taylor series diverges at x if the distance between x and b is larger than the radius of convergence. The Taylor series can be used to calculate the value of an entire function at every point, if the value of the function, and of all of its derivatives, are known at a single point. Uses of the Taylor series for analytic functions ...

  4. Lagrange inversion theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrange_inversion_theorem

    Faà di Bruno's formula gives coefficients of the composition of two formal power series in terms of the coefficients of those two series. Equivalently, it is a formula for the nth derivative of a composite function. Lagrange reversion theorem for another theorem sometimes called the inversion theorem; Formal power series#The Lagrange inversion ...

  5. Radius of convergence - Wikipedia

    Since y is real, that happens only if cos(y) = 1 and sin(y) = 0, so that y is an integer multiple of 2 π. Consequently the singular points of this function occur at z = a nonzero integer multiple of 2 π i. The singularities nearest 0, which is the center of the power series expansion, are at ±2 π i.

  6. Linear approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_approximation

    Linear approximations in this case are further improved when the second derivative of a, ″ (), is sufficiently small (close to zero) (i.e., at or near an inflection point). If f {\displaystyle f} is concave down in the interval between x {\displaystyle x} and a {\displaystyle a} , the approximation will be an overestimate (since the ...

  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. Stirling's approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling's_approximation

    The approximation (⁡ +) and its equivalent form ⁡ ⁡ ⁡ + (⁡ + ⁡ (⁡ +)) can be obtained by rearranging Stirling's extended formula and observing a coincidence between the resultant power series and the Taylor series expansion of the hyperbolic sine function.

    and −2 is the least absolute remainder. In the division of 42 by 5, we have: 42 = 8 × 5 + 2, and since 2 < 5/2, 2 is both the least positive remainder and the least absolute remainder. In these examples, the (negative) least absolute remainder is obtained from the least positive remainder by subtracting 5, which is d. This holds in general.
