  • Method Details

    • setSeriesLimit

      public static void setSeriesLimit(int seriesLimit)
      Parameters:
      seriesLimit - The number of terms of a power series to be included.

    • exp

      public static double exp(double x)

      Approximating the natural exponential function by a finite number of terms from the corresponding power series expansion

      \[ \begin{aligned} e^x ={} & 1 + {x\over 1!} + {x^2\over 2!} + {x^3\over 3!} + \dots \\ ={} & \sum_{i = 0}^\infty {x^i\over i!} \end{aligned} \] A power series implementation has to be finite since an infinite number of terms requires infinite execution time. The number of terms to be considered can be set by setSeriesLimit(int)}
      Parameters:
      x - The exponential's argument as in \( e^x \)
      Returns:
      The value \( e^x \) itself.

    • sin

      public static double sin(double x)

      Calculating the sine by means of the corresponding power series.

      \[ \begin{aligned} \text{sin}(x) ={} & x - {x^3\over 3!} + {x^5\over 5!} - {x^7\over 7!} + \dots \\ ={} & \sum_{i = 0}^\infty {(-1)^i {x^{2i+1}\over (2i+1)!}} \end{aligned} \]
      Parameters:
      x - The sine's argument as in \( \text{sin}(x) \).
      Returns:
      The value \( \text{sin}(x) \) itself.
