The Taylor series for an infinitely differentiable \(f\) at point \(a\), given by \(f(x) = \sum_{k=0} ^ {\infty} \frac {f^{(k)}(a)}{k!} \, (x-a)^{k}\), allows \(f\) to be expressed in terms of its derivatives.

The binomial theorem, making use of the well-known binomial coefficients, allows expressing \((x+y)^n\) as a sum: \((x+y)^n=\sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} x^k y^{n-k}\).

Newton's mutual attraction force for masses \(m_1\), \(m_2\) is \(F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{d^2}\), where \(d\) is the distance between them and \(G\) is the gravitational constant.
