series

In mathematics, the Taylor series of a function is an infinite sum of terms that are expressed in terms of the function's derivatives at a single point. For most common functions, the function and the sum of its Taylor series are equal near this point. Taylor's series are named after Brook Taylor, who introduced them in 1715.
If 0 is the point where the derivatives are considered, a Taylor series is also called a Maclaurin series, after Colin Maclaurin, who made extensive use of this special case of Taylor series in the 18th century.
The partial sum formed by the first n + 1 terms of a Taylor series is a polynomial of degree n that is called the nth Taylor polynomial of the function. Taylor polynomials are approximations of a function, which become generally better as n increases. Taylor's theorem gives quantitative estimates on the error introduced by the use of such approximations. If the Taylor series of a function is convergent, its sum is the limit of the infinite sequence of the Taylor polynomials. A function may differ from the sum of its Taylor series, even if its Taylor series is convergent. A function is analytic at a point x if it is equal to the sum of its Taylor series in some open interval (or open disk in the complex plane) containing x. This implies that the function is analytic at every point of the interval (or disk).

    Hi all I have a main eco compact 30kw combi boiler installed. This is using weather compensation (baxi ifos) and salus iT500 controller. The salus is starting to play up so I am in a dilemma. Do I replace the salus with a hive or similar and continue to use the weather compensation, or do I...

    Radiators in series

    Having already some aluminium radiators of a particular type I have decided to get more for another room. Problem is the output is not sufficient. The maximum output is 1800w 580mm high x 1200mm wide so would having 2 rads on the same wall look odd or not. I am thinking of having a pair of...

    Rayburn 480K series 1.

    Cooker side blower motor bearings run dry. If I lube them it will run for 24 hours then seize up again. What to use? I have tried clock oil, motorcycle chain lube and moly grease to no avail. They are sintered bearings so presumably they can be cleaned out and relubricated but how and with...

    Refill a Baxi combi boiler (24 series)

    Hi guys, We have a baxi combination boiler which needs to be re-pressurised (error code 119 I believe). I've done this several times on different boilers using the tap on the front. I just want to confirm that we need to turn the two taps at the front to repressurise. From what I understand we...

    Question about multiple bottle traps in series - not commercial use

    A series of UFH questions

    Hi, having seen how many people have had solid replies on here I thought I'd test the waters. I have a 1920s semi detached, solid brick wall and suspended wooden floor with 2x lowered areas (kitchen and downstairs loo) that appear to be concrete (freezing floor in winter). I'm extending the...

    Twin buffer tanks in series or parallel

    Hi I'm about to install a 30kw Gasification boiler. I also require 2 x 1000ltr buffer tanks, I've looked at many installations and it's not clear which is the best option series or parallel. Also I'm not sure of the best pipe size between the 2 tanks, the tanks have 1 1/2" connections I was...

    Can radiators be piped in series?

    I'm have 4 x 400mm wide radiators installed in a semi circle bay window. My builder has started to pipe them up in series with the outlet of the first radiator feeding straight into the inlet of the second and so on. I'm pretty sure that it won't work as the temperture drop across each rad (i'm...

    New Baxi 200 and 400 series

    I had my first look at the new Baxi 200 series and 400 series combis today. The only difference that I could see is that the 400 series has a built in loop, and a 5 yr warranty instead of the 2 yr with the 200 series. Looks are conventional, if very small (fits in a cupboard) and very light -...
