An Automatic Proof of Euler's Formula
In this information age, everything is digitalized. The encoding of functions and the automatic proof of functions are important. This paper will discuss the automatic calculation for Taylor expansion coefficients, as an example, it can be applied to prove Euler’s formula automatically.
متن کاملEvaluating the Derivatives of Two Types of Functions
This paper uses the mathematical software Maple for the auxiliary tool to study the differential problem of two types of functions. We can obtain the closed forms of any order derivatives of these two types of functions by using Euler's formula, DeMoivre's formula, finite geometric series and Leibniz differential rule, and hence greatly reduce the difficulty of calculating their higher order de...
متن کاملAn integration of Euler's pentagonal partition
A recurrent formula is presented, for the enumeration of the compositions of positive integers as sums over multisets of positive integers, that closely resembles Euler’s recurrence based on the pentagonal numbers, but where the coefficients result from a discrete integration of Euler’s coefficients. Both a bijective proof and one based on generating functions show the equivalence of the subjec...
متن کاملEvaluating Some Integrals with Maple
This paper uses the mathematical software Maple for the auxiliary tool to evaluate two types of integrals. We can obtain the closed forms of these two types of integrals by using Euler's formula, DeMoivre's formula, and finite geometric series. In addition, we provide two integrals to do calculation practically. The research methods adopted in this study involved finding solutions through manua...
متن کاملTutte polynomials of wheels via generating functions
We find an explicit expression of the Tutte polynomial of an $n$-fan. We also find a formula of the Tutte polynomial of an $n$-wheel in terms of the Tutte polynomial of $n$-fans. Finally, we give an alternative expression of the Tutte polynomial of an $n$-wheel and then prove the explicit formula for the Tutte polynomial of an $n$-wheel.
