Simple Series

Some simple series expressions include

\frac{z}{1-q} \;_{2}\phi_1 \left[\begin{matrix}
q \; q \\
q^2 \end{matrix}\; ; q,z \right] =
\frac{z}{1-q}
+ \frac{z^2}{1-q^2}
+ \frac{z^3}{1-q^3}
+ \ldots

and

\frac{z}{1-q^{1/2}} \;_{2}\phi_1 \left[\begin{matrix}
q \; q^{1/2} \\
q^{3/2} \end{matrix}\; ; q,z \right] =
\frac{z}{1-q^{1/2}}
+ \frac{z^2}{1-q^{3/2}}
+ \frac{z^3}{1-q^{5/2}}
+ \ldots

and

\;_{2}\phi_1 \left[\begin{matrix}
q \; -1 \\
-q \end{matrix}\; ; q,z \right] = 1+
\frac{2z}{1+q}
+ \frac{2z^2}{1+q^2}
+ \frac{2z^3}{1+q^3}
+ \ldots.

Famous quotes containing the words simple and/or series:

    ... it is always the simple that produces the marvelous.
    Amelia E. Barr (1831–1919)

    Depression moods lead, almost invariably, to accidents. But, when they occur, our mood changes again, since the accident shows we can draw the world in our wake, and that we still retain some degree of power even when our spirits are low. A series of accidents creates a positively light-hearted state, out of consideration for this strange power.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
