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 and/or series:

    “Whatever we have got has been by infinite labour, and search, and ranging through every corner of nature; the difference is that instead of dirt and poison, we have rather chosen to fill our hives with honey and wax, thus furnishing mankind with the two noblest of things, which are sweetness and light.”
    —Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    “As Cuvier could correctly describe a whole animal by the contemplation of a single bone, so the observer who has thoroughly understood one link in a series of incidents should be able to accurately state all the other ones, both before and after.”
    —Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
