What or where is the series expansion of the function $\ln\bigl(\frac{\tan x}{x}-1\bigr)$ or $\ln(\tan x-x)$ around $x=0$?
It is known that
\begin{equation*}
\tan x=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{2^{2k}\bigl(2^{2k}-1\bigr)}{(2k)!}|B_{2k}|x^{2k-1}, \quad |x|<\frac{\pi}{2}
\end{equation*}
and
\begin{equation*}
\ln\tan x=\ln x+\...

A closed form of a summation or the taylor series expansion of some function with a closed form?
Let $Z_N = \displaystyle{\sum_{k+j\leq N}} \frac{N!N^{k+j}}{N^{N+1}}\frac{u^kv^j}{k!j!}\binom{N-j}{N-j-k}$ where $u$ and $v$ are two unknowns.
My question is: Is there a closed-form for $Z_N$ or is $...

Numerical Computation of arcsin and arctan for real numbers [closed]
I'm coding some numerical methods and I do not know what the correct analysis would be for choosing the implementation for $arcsin$ and $arctan$ for real numbers. Here's what I know:
Both functions ...
