nth Root - Infinite Series

Infinite Series

The radical or root may be represented by the infinite series:

(1+x)^{s/t} = \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{\prod_{k=0}^{n-1} (s-kt)}{n!t^n}x^n

with . This expression can be derived from the binomial series.

Famous quotes containing the words infinite series, infinite and/or series:

    “In the order of literature, as in others, there is no act that is not the coronation of an infinite series of causes and the source of an infinite series of effects.”
    —Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)

    “Moreover, the universe as a whole is infinite, for whatever is limited has an outermost edge to limit it, and such an edge is defined by something beyond. Since the universe has no edge, it has no limit; and since it lacks a limit, it is infinite and unbounded. Moreover, the universe is infinite both in the number of its atoms and in the extent of its void.”
    —Epicurus (c. 341–271 B.C.)

    “Personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
