  1. Difference between "≈", "≃", and "≅" - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    In mathematical notation, what are the usage differences between the various approximately-equal signs "≈", "≃", and "≅"? The Unicode standard lists all of them inside the Mathematical Operators B...

  2. What exactly is "approximation"? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    One can, for example, approximate continuous functions with polynomial functions, in which case the idea is to keep the area between the original function and the approximating function small. One can …

  5. calculus - Use a power series to approximate the definite integral to ...

    Use a power series to approximate the definite integral to six decimal places. ∫0.30 x2 1 + x4 I'm not sure how to find the sum of this for solving when it has x's in the numerator, this is what I assumed …

  6. How to derive a function to approximate $\\sqrt{3}$?

    Basically, to approximate the location of a root of a function, we approximate the function locally by its tangent, find the tangents root instead, and that value is a decent approximation for the location of …

  7. taylor expansion - Approximate $\coth (x)$ around $x = 0

    Jan 18, 2015 · I'm trying to approximate coth(x) coth (x) around x = 0 x = 0, up to say, third order in x x. Now obviously a simple taylor expansion doesn't work, as it diverges around x = 0 x = 0. I'm not quite …

  8. Approximating the error function erf by analytical functions

    Aug 15, 2016 · My question is if I can find, or if there are known, substitutions for this non-elementary function in terms of elementary ones. In the sense above, i.e. the approximation is …
