  3. 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 …

  4. exponential function - Feynman's Trick for Approximating $e^x ...

    Jul 7, 2017 · And he could approximate small values by performing some mental math to get an accurate approximation to three decimal places. For example, approximating $e^ {3.3}$, we …

  5. real analysis - How to approximate $e^ {-x}$ when $x$ is large ...

    Jan 1, 2023 · When the value of $x$ is small, such as when $x$ is less than $1$, we can use the Taylor series to approximate its behavior. The first few terms of the series often ...

  6. notation - Different use of approximate equality symbols

    Apr 12, 2016 · I have been wondering for a long time whether there is a unequivocal way to define and use the symbols commonly adopted for an approximate equality between two quantities. I …

  7. 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 …

  8. Is there a "greater than about" symbol? - Mathematics Stack …

    Aug 12, 2015 · To indicate approximate equality, one can use ≃, ≅, ~, ♎, or ≒. I need to indicate an approximate inequality. Specifically, I know A is greater than a quantity of approximately B. …

  9. Approximation of square roots - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Oct 2, 2018 · Recently, I've seen a YouTube video where they approximate square roots real quick. They use this approximation : $$\\sqrt{x} \\approx \\lfloor \\sqrt{x} \\rfloor+ ...

  10. Approximate $\coth (x)$ around $x = 0$ - Mathematics Stack …

    Apr 13, 2017 · I'm trying to approximate $\coth (x)$ around $x = 0$, up to say, third order in $x$. Now obviously a simple taylor expansion doesn't work, as it diverges around $x = 0$.
