Re: Linear Interpolation FP1 Formula
Hi;
Here it is:
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

Re: Linear Interpolation FP1 Formula
I'm confused how you got that... how are you getting that?

Re: Linear Interpolation FP1 Formula
Repeated integration by parts is how that is generated. Most asymptotic series are generated by IBP.

Re: Linear Interpolation FP1 Formula
Just tried it, I get the same answer. That is cool, I always thought that if you got an infinite series through IBP it was just poor form. I will try this with some other integrals...
Wait, is repeated IBP therefore another way of integrating something for which there is no closed form? So like an alternative to integrating the Taylor series?

Re: Linear Interpolation FP1 Formula
Sometimes IBP will get the integral exactly, as you have seen. Sometimes it can get an asymptotic form like the one above. Sometimes it can get an ordinary power series. Each one has uses if used correctly.

Re: Linear Interpolation FP1 Formula
You will get an asymptotic form for the integral of sinx / x too, right? (through repeated IBP)

Re: Linear Interpolation FP1 Formula
Yes, that is an asymptotic form for any x.

Re: Linear Interpolation FP1 Formula
To compute with them you only use a finite number of terms rather than an infinite number like with a power series.

Re: Linear Interpolation FP1 Formula
Because the terms quickly get relatively smaller enabling you to justify the accuracy of your sum?
I also realised that continued fractions can produce interesting results for things like sqrt(pi), rather than just the simple surds.

Re: Linear Interpolation FP1 Formula
Yes, continu3d fractions is nice for approximating constants and they also solve pell equations.

You keep using the terms that are getting smaller. The first term that gets larger you stop there.

Re: Linear Interpolation FP1 Formula
Yes, I remember, using the convergents. I think you showed me a post of yours about it...
Why do you stop there, and not at the term right before that one?

Re: Linear Interpolation FP1 Formula
Oh, okay. Also, I have a question about continued fractions again. About 4 months ago you told me that the continued fraction of root 11 was {3; 3, 6, 3, 6, 3, 6, ...} with period 2.
I am getting it to be {1; 0.2, 0.2, 0.2, ...) with period 1, however. Or, in other words,
But the numerators must be 1 so I just divided through by 5 to get 0.2 for each quotient apart from the zeroth one.
Can you show me how you got a different continued fraction? Is mine not valid? It is a problem because I am getting different convergents, so I cannot solve Pell equations with my current method.

That is not the continued fraction for 11.

Re: Linear Interpolation FP1 Formula
so
Where am I going wrong, if I truncate it after a bit it seems to converge well?

Hi;
That appears to be working. There is more than one way to represent a constant with cf's.

Re: Linear Interpolation FP1 Formula
Yes, but it is impractical without a calculator/CAS...
Can't convergents be found from my fraction, somehow?

The method used in post #8266 seems okay but much more difficult than with a calculator.

Re: Linear Interpolation FP1 Formula
I should really learn to like calculators...
So is my method not the typical way one would derive a continued fraction?

To answer that I suggest you do another √19.

Yes!!!!!! If you hope to get to CERN or any other installation in the world they will demand you use a calculator or a CAS. Start now, especially since there is someone around to teach you.

Re: Linear Interpolation FP1 Formula
The convergence will probably be slower for larger numbers, but from my method, doesn't it follow that
where p is prime? So for your example p = 19...
I guess I don't mind calculators but I've never used a CAS before, I don't think. Aside from WolframAlpha or something... as for CERN, I don't know if I want to do that. That was back when I loved physics... at the moment I'm undecided.

Re: Linear Interpolation FP1 Formula
Actually ignore the 'p is prime' comment, that is irrelevant...
