Multipole expansion
text:
A multipole expansion is a mathematical series representing a function that depends on angles—usually the two angles used in the spherical coordinate system for three-dimensional Euclidean space, R 3. Similarly to Taylor series, multipole expansions are useful because oftentimes only the first few terms are needed to provide a good approximation of the original function. The function being expanded may be real- or complex-valued and is defined either on R 3, or less often on R n for some other n
