In any attempt to understand the teaching of Jesus as recorded in the Synoptic Gospels, a consideration of the parables must take an important place.

متن کاملInfinite Series
so π is an “infinite sum” of fractions. Decimal expansions like this show that an infinite series is not a paradoxical idea, although it may not be clear how to deal with non-decimal infinite series like (1.1) at the moment. Infinite series provide two conceptual insights into the nature of the basic functions met in high school (rational functions, trigonometric and inverse trigonometric funct...
متن کاملScientific Eschatology ∗

The fundamental role played by the positive “cosmological constant” is emphasized. Dyson’s 1979 paper entitled Time Without End is briefly reviewed. His most optimistic scenario requires that the universe be geometrically open and that biology is structural in th...
متن کاملNew Expansion and Infinite Series
Different from the Taylor polynomials, a new formula for function expansion is proposed where the terms are not polynomials. A new infinite series based on the new formula is also proposed, and the new infinite series can keep some important properties of the original functions. Some forms of remainder are also presented for analysis of convergence. In order to show some internal relationships ...
