  1. What is the approximate identity? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Feb 25, 2017 · An approximate identity (in the sense that you've described) is a sequence of operators, usually derived from some "nice" class, that converge to the identity operator in the …

  2. 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 …

  3. Taylor-approximation of square root - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Aug 3, 2016 · Can someone please guide me with this question: Use the Taylor polynomial of $$f(x)=\\sqrt{1+x}$$ around $0$ to get an estimate for $\\sqrt{2}$ correct to one decimal ...

  4. 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 …

  5. 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 …

  6. When should we write $\approx$ (approximately symbol)?

    Perhaps the correct option (and the one I am currently using) is $ (3)$ because of the transitivity of the symbols of equality $=$ and approximately $\approx$.

  7. 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+ ...

  8. Approximating square roots using binomial expansion.

    9 We want to (manually) approximate 2–√ 2 by using the first few terms of the binomial series expansion of

  9. How is the value of $\\pi$ ( Pi ) actually calculated?

    Also you can calculate the area of the circle and then use A =r2π A = r 2 π. The same works with a sphere. But this methods will only give an approximate value, that accurate to 5-10 decimal …

  10. calculus - Efficient and Accurate Formulas for Approximating sin x ...

    Oct 15, 2023 · What are some of the most accurate and computationally efficient methods to approximate $ \sin (x) , \cos (x) , \tan (x) $ and $ \ln (x) $? Are there algorithms or formulas …
