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.

Shannon's entropy, \(H(X) = -\sum_{x \in \mathbf{X}} p(x) \log p(x)\), measures how informative the mass function \(p\) is about the occurrence of the possible values of variable \(X\).

In Einstein's general relativity, the field equation \(\mathcal{G} = - \frac{8\pi G}{c^4} \mathcal{T}\) relates spacetime curvature (\(\mathcal{G}\)) to its mass-energy content (\(\mathcal{T}\)).
