Secans

The power series for the secans is

 


Explanation

The first derivative of the secans is

Only the secans and the tangens appear here. If we calculate more derivatives this will remain unchanged because (tan x)' = sec2x, so that







The point x = 0 gives sec (0) = 1 and tan (0) = 0 so









We substitute this in the Taylor series and find

 


General format

You can write the power series as a sum

where Un is the n-th up/down number. Or as

where E2n is the n-th Euler number.
