About: Binomial approximation

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The binomial approximation is useful for approximately calculating powers of sums of 1 and a small number x. It states that It is valid when and where and may be real or complex numbers. The benefit of this approximation is that is converted from an exponent to a multiplicative factor. This can greatly simplify mathematical expressions (as in ) and is a common tool in physics.

dbo:abstract
  • The binomial approximation is useful for approximately calculating powers of sums of 1 and a small number x. It states that It is valid when and where and may be real or complex numbers. The benefit of this approximation is that is converted from an exponent to a multiplicative factor. This can greatly simplify mathematical expressions (as in ) and is a common tool in physics. The approximation can be proven several ways, and is closely related to the binomial theorem. By Bernoulli's inequality, the left-hand side of the approximation is greater than or equal to the right-hand side whenever and . (en)
