Derivation

  1. Initial program 58.6

    \[\log \left(\frac{1 - \varepsilon}{1 + \varepsilon}\right)\]

  2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.6

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\log 1 + -2 \cdot \varepsilon}\]

  3. Simplified0.6

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\log 1 + \varepsilon \cdot -2}\]

  4. Final simplification0.6

    \[\leadsto \log 1 + \varepsilon \cdot -2\]
