De Analysi Per Aequationes Numero Terminorum Infinitas
''De analysi per aequationes numero terminorum infinitas'' (or ''On analysis by infinite series'', ''On Analysis by Equations with an infinite number of terms'', or ''On the Analysis by means of equations of an infinite number of terms'') is a mathematical work by Isaac Newton. Creation Composed in 1669,Carl B. Boyer, Uta C. Merzbach during the mid-part of that year probably, from ideas Newton had acquired during the period 1665–1666. Newton wrote The explication was written to remedy apparent weaknesses in the ''logarithmic series'' nfinite series for \log(1 + x), that had become republished due to Nicolaus Mercator,Britannica Educational or through the encouragement of Isaac Barrow in 1669, to ascertain the knowing of the prior authorship of a general method of ''infinite series''. The writing was circulated amongst scholars as a manuscript in 1669, including John Collins a mathematics '' intelligencer'' for a group of British and continental mathematicians. His rel ...

Newton's Method
In numerical analysis, the Newton–Raphson method, also known simply as Newton's method, named after Isaac Newton and Joseph Raphson, is a root-finding algorithm which produces successively better approximations to the roots (or zeroes) of a real-valued function. The most basic version starts with a real-valued function , its derivative , and an initial guess for a root of . If satisfies certain assumptions and the initial guess is close, then x_ = x_0 - \frac is a better approximation of the root than . Geometrically, is the x-intercept of the tangent of the graph of at : that is, the improved guess, , is the unique root of the linear approximation of at the initial guess, . The process is repeated as x_ = x_n - \frac until a sufficiently precise value is reached. The number of correct digits roughly doubles with each step. This algorithm is first in the class of Householder's methods, and was succeeded by Halley's method. The method can also be extended t ...

Washington & Jefferson College
Washington & Jefferson College (W&J College or W&J) is a Private college, private Liberal arts colleges in the United States, liberal arts college in Washington, Pennsylvania, United States. The college traces its origin to three Presbyterian missionaries in the 1780s: John McMillan (missionary), John McMillan, Thaddeus Dod, and Joseph Smith (Presbyterian minister, born 1736), Joseph Smith. Early schools grew into two competing academies, with Jefferson College in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, and Washington College in Washington. The two colleges merged in 1865 to form Washington & Jefferson College. The campus has more than 40 buildings, with the oldest dating to 1793. The college has a strong history of competing literary societies, dating back before the union of Jefferson and Washington Colleges. The athletic program competes in NCAA Division III. Nearly all students live on campus and roughly one-third are members of fraternities or sororities. History Early history and the ...

Exponential Formula
In combinatorial mathematics, the exponential formula (called the polymer expansion in physics) states that the exponential generating function for structures on finite sets is the exponential of the exponential generating function for connected structures. The exponential formula is a power series version of a special case of Faà di Bruno's formula. Algebraic statement Here is a purely algebraic statement, as a first introduction to the combinatorial use of the formula. For any formal power series of the form f(x)=a_1 x+x^2+x^3+\cdots+x^n+\cdots\, we have \exp f(x)=e^=\sum_^\infty x^n,\, where b_n = \sum_ a_\cdots a_, and the index \pi runs through all partitions \ of the set \. (When k = 0, the product is empty and by definition equals 1.) Formula in other expressions One can write the formula in the following form: b_n = B_n(a_1,a_2,\dots,a_n), and thus \exp\left(\sum_^\infty x^n \right) = \sum_^\infty x^n, where B_n(a_1,\ldots,a_n) is the nth complete Bell polynomial.

André Weil
André Weil (; ; 6 May 1906 – 6 August 1998) was a French mathematician, known for his foundational work in number theory and algebraic geometry. He was one of the most influential mathematicians of the twentieth century. His influence is due both to his original contributions to a remarkably broad spectrum of mathematical theories, and to the mark he left on mathematical practice and style, through some of his own works as well as through the Bourbaki group, of which he was one of the principal founders. Life André Weil was born in Paris to agnostic Alsatian Jewish parents who fled the annexation of Alsace-Lorraine by the German Empire after the Franco-Prussian War in 1870–71. Simone Weil, who would later become a famous philosopher, was Weil's younger sister and only sibling. He studied in Paris, Rome and Göttingen and received his doctorate in 1928. While in Germany, Weil befriended Carl Ludwig Siegel. Starting in 1930, he spent two academic years at Aligarh Mu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

University Of Bergamo
The University of Bergamo (; acronym: UniBG) is an Italian public university located in Bergamo, Italy. It was founded on 11 December 1968 and is organized in seven departments, three campuses and forty-one degree courses. History The University of Bergamo, founded in 1968, was originally named "Institute of Foreign Languages and Literature".

During the rectorship of Giorgio Szëgo, characterized by the new Faculty of Economics, the university continued to expand, but it was the Rector Pietro Enrico Ferri in 1990 who opened the Faculty of Engineering in Dalmine and accompanied the transfer of the private institute to the State under the new name "University of the studies of Bergamo". Over the years the university has played an important role in restoring some of the historic buildings in the Upper City of Bergamo: the Faculty of Foreig ...
