 Laurent series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Two such formal Laurent series may be added by adding the coefficients, and because of the finiteness of the negative-degree coefficients, they may also be multiplied using convolution of the coefficient sequences.
into the series for the exponential function, we obtain its Laurent series which converges and is equal to f(x) for all complex numbers x except at the singularity x=0.
More generally, Laurent series can be used to express holomorphic functions defined on an annulus, much as power series are used to express holomorphic functions defined on a disc.

 Divergent series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The subject of divergent series, as a domain of mathematical analysis, is primarily concerned with explicit and natural techniques such as Abel summation, Cesàro summation and Borel summation, and their relationships.
Summation of divergent series is also related to extrapolation methods and sequence transformations as numerical techniques.

 Hypergeometric series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Applications of hypergeometric series includes the inversion of elliptic integrals; these are constructed by taking the ratio of the two linearly independent solutions of the hypergeometric differential equation to form Schwarz-Christoffel maps of the fundamental domain to the complex projective line or Riemann sphere.
Thus, by convention, the use of the term hypergeometric series is usually restricted to the case where the series defines an actual analytic function with a non-zero radius of convergence.
In mathematics, a hypergeometric series is a power series in which the ratios of successive coefficients k is a rational function of k.

 Series (mathematics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, a series is often represented as the sum of a sequence of terms.
Series may be finite, or infinite; in the first case they may be handled with elementary algebra, but infinite series require tools from mathematical analysis if they are to be applied in anything more than a tentative way.
Series for the expansion of sines and cosines, of multiple arcs in powers of the sine and cosine of the arc had been treated by Jakob Bernoulli (1702) and his brother Johann Bernoulli (1701) and still earlier by Viète.

 Wheel series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A wheel series is a term applied in the broadcast television industry to a television program in which two or more regular series are rotated with the same time slot.
The most successful example of a wheel series on American television was the NBC Mystery Movie, which debuted in 1971 on NBC and ran for seven seasons.
The wheel series is rarely used today on American prime-time television, and the term has become somewhat archaic.

 Encyclopedia article: Spec series
In these spec series, a displacement, power and/or torque limit is often selected to limit variation in the equipment.
A spec series is traditionally a racing series of boats, planes, or automobiles where all the competitors race in nearly identical vehicles.
A spec series or one design class with a common design is considered necessary by some for racing classes, so that competition is based on skill, rather than the design table.

 Limited series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Limited series may also be referred to as mini-series (less than twelve individual issues) or maxi-series (twelve or more individual issues).” [1] DC Comics refers to limited series of two to eight issues long as miniseries while nine to twelve issues or longer as maxiseries while Marvel Comics originated the term limited series itself.
Limited series are often done by a single creative team but in cases where there are changes, it is usually the writer who remains constant throughout the run while the artist may change hands.
A limited series differs from an ongoing series in that the number of intended issues is determined before production of the series, and differs from a one shot in that it is comprised of multiple issues.

 Fourier series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fourier series are useful in the study of a vast array of applied and theoretical problems in mathematics and physics, and are named in honor of Joseph Fourier (1768-1830),
Fourier was the first to study trigonometric series, after preliminary investigations by Euler, d'Alembert, and Daniel Bernoulli.
The useful properties of Fourier series are largely derived from the orthogonality and homomorphism property of the functions

John de Lancie, and others (as different Q) In the Star Trek fictional universe, the Q are a race of near-omnipotent, immortal and near-omniscient god-like beings from a parallel existence called the Q Continuum.
Some episodes have suggested that the Q evolved since the Big Bang to their current state, and that possibly they were like humans very early on.

 Power series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Once a function is given as a power series, it is continuous wherever it converges and is differentiable on the interior of this set.
Every power series with a positive radius of convergence is analytic on the interior of its region of convergence.
These power series arise primarily in analysis, but also occur in combinatorics (under the name of generating functions) and in electrical engineering (under the name of the Z-transform).
