Mathematical Methods in Classical and Quantum Mechanics
An asymptotic expansion is a mathematical expression that approximates a function as an argument approaches a limit, typically infinity. This concept is essential in simplifying complex problems, allowing us to describe the behavior of solutions in a more manageable way. By providing a series of terms that converge to the function in question, asymptotic expansions help reveal important features and characteristics of solutions within various physical contexts.
