The Fresnel integrals admit the following power series expansions that converge for all x:
Some authors, including Abramowitz and Stegun, (eqs 7.3.1 – 7.3.2) use for the argument of the integrals defining S(x) and C(x). To get these functions, multiply the above integrals by and multiply the argument x by .

Famous quotes containing the word definition:
“Perhaps the best definition of progress would be the continuing efforts of men and women to narrow the gap between the convenience of the powers that be and the unwritten charter.”
—Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)
“Scientific method is the way to truth, but it affords, even in
