OR:

In mathematics, the tanc function is defined for z \neq 0 as \operatorname(z)=\frac


Properties

The first-order derivative of the tanc function is given by : \frac - \frac The
Taylor series In mathematics, the Taylor series or Taylor expansion 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 serie ...
expansion is\operatorname z \approx \left(1+ \frac z^2 + \frac z^4 + \frac z^6 + \frac z^8 + \frac z^ + \frac z^+ \frac z^ + O(z^ ) \right)which leads to the series expansion of the integral as\int _0^z \frac \, dx = \left(z+ \frac z^3 + \frac z^5 + \frac z^7 + \frac z^9+ \frac z^+ \frac z^ + \frac z^+ O (z^) \right)The
Padé approximant In mathematics, a Padé approximant is the "best" approximation of a function near a specific point by a rational function of given order. Under this technique, the approximant's power series agrees with the power series of the function it is ap ...
