How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T19132888 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
MacLaurin
MacLaurin is a Scottish surname historically linked to Clan MacLaren and borne by members and descendants of that Highland clan.
-
B.
Taylor series
A Taylor series is an infinite sum of terms calculated from the derivatives of a function at a single point, used to represent and approximate functions as power series.
-
C.
Neumann series
The Neumann series is an infinite series expansion used to represent the inverse of an operator or solve integral and differential equations, analogous to a geometric series in functional analysis.
-
D.
Euler–Maclaurin summation formula
The Euler–Maclaurin summation formula is a fundamental result in analysis that connects sums and integrals, providing powerful asymptotic expansions and error estimates for approximating series by integrals.
-
E.
Puiseux series
Puiseux series are formal power series in fractional powers of a variable, widely used in algebraic geometry and singularity theory to locally parametrize algebraic curves.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
