The heat equation, \(\frac{\partial \varnothing}{\partial t} = D \nabla^2 \varnothing\), uses the Laplacian of \(\varnothing\) to express diffusion through a medium.

Another common definition of the exponential function to the natural basis, \(e^x\), comes from writing it as the series \(e^x = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{x^k}{k!}\).

The natural logarithm can be expanded into a series, yielding \(\ln(1+x) = \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^{k+1}x^k}{k}\).
