Shouldn't eA expand to e^{A} = 1 + A + \frac{1}{2}A^2 + \frac{1}{6}A^3 + ... instead of e^{A} = A + \frac{1}{2}A^2 + \frac{1}{6}A^3 + ... where 1 is the identity matrix of adequate dimension?

Yes, that seems correct to me. I would have to look it up though, to make sure i'm not missing some detail. --Whiteknight (talk) 13:30, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
fixed. You're right -- see Wikipedia: matrix exponential. --DavidCary (talk) 16:46, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
