| Jan 4, 2014 at 10:57 | comment | added | Campello | You may want to try the same ideias to obtain a Taylor Series approximation around any point $p$. And you may also calculate the sum in $n$ (geometric progression) and then do Taylor Approximation... some of these thechniques may suffice... | |
| Jan 4, 2014 at 10:26 | comment | added | Brendan McKay | Of course. As $p$ approaches 0, the sum approaches $n$ but this approximation doesn't. | |
| Jan 4, 2014 at 5:40 | comment | added | Kelvin Lee | I assumed $p$ was very small and maybe very close to $0$, say 1e-2, 1e-3, or 1e-4, will that complicate the approximation? | |
