Mathematical Writing and Analysis Techniques

The document summarizes two mathematical concepts: 1) It describes using the Maclaurin series expansion of arctan(x) to approximate digits of π. Using Hutton's identity allows the approximation to reach 100 digits of accuracy when n=1000. 2) It defines a function f of a complex variable z as being complex differentiable at z0 if the limit of (f(z)-f(z0)) as Δz approaches 0 exists as a unique complex number, regardless of the path to z0. This is equivalent to f satisfying the Cauchy-Riemann equations at z0.

Improved Mathematical Writing


1. Figure Description

Figure 1: Description provided below. Figure 1 shows a regular hexagon inscribed into a circle and an equilateral triangle simultaneously. Three edges of the hexagon with no common vertices are tangent to the edges of the triangle. The triangle has a horizontal base and a vertex above the base. The vertices on the bottom horizontal edge of the hexagon are blue, all other vertices in the gure are black. 2. Swimming Routine Problem The only way Susan could go swimming four days a week, with no two days running, would be to go on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. But as the next Monday follows Sunday, such a routine is impossible.

1. 2.3 The identity arctan(1) = 4 , derived from a right-angled triangle, is used to approximate decimal digits of by using the Maclaurin ex(1)k (x)2k+1 pansion of arctan(x) = n evaluated at x = 1. This k=0 (2k+1)! approximation has two-digit accuracy when n = 1000 and three-digit accuracy when n = 10000.
1 1 When we use Huttons identity arctan( 7 )+2 arctan( 3 )= 4 to evaluate 1 the Maclaurin series at x = 7 plus two times at x = 1 3 we nd that the accuracy rises sharply to 100 digits when n = 1000.

2. 2.5 A function f = u + iv of a complex variable z = x + iy is complex dierz )f (z0 ) exists as a unique complex entiable at z0 if the limz 0 (z0 z number regardless the path on the complex plane along which z 0. We call the limit f (z0 ) the complex derivative. This is equivalent to saying that f satises the Cauchy-Riemann equav v u tions : u x = y and x = y evaluated at z0 .
