is it true that the sequence and series sections of calc 2 have no applications at all?

what's the importance of it besides "it's good to challenge"?

>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 1 01:16:18 2011 No.4087857 lol huge noob Almost every function you use is a series, other than poynomials. e^x, sinx, cosx, etc are all infinite series. Also, you often solve PDE's and ODE's using series solutions

>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 1 01:22:57 2011 No.4087871 Combinatorics... nuff said. you will frequently encounter series in combinatorics.

>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 1 01:34:25 2011 No.4087895 I am just starting series in calc.2, and I am having a hell of a time with it. Does it become second nature eventually (like derivatives or integrals)? This stuff is kicking my butt.

>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 1 01:53:34 2011 No.4087937 >>4087895 series are just discrete integrals.

>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 1 01:57:06 2011 No.4087944 >>4087822 Differential Equations model physical phenomena. There are many ways to solve differential equations and one of them is by using power series.

>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 1 02:05:02 2011 No.4087968 Heh, I remember taking Calc 2 and feeling this way. Math is in art, OP. Just do it for it's own sake, and you'll love it. Spoiler: You'll soon find that series are useful for... more math!!!
