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

Integrating the Gaussian function from minus to plus infinity yields \(\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-x^2}dx=\sqrt{\pi}\), which is known as the Gaussian integral.

Factorials apply only to nonnegative integers but can be extended to complex numbers with positive real parts using the Gamma function, \(\Gamma(n) = \int_0^\infty e^{-x}x^{n-1}dx\).
