General Formulas of Maclaurin and Taylor If (x) and all its derivatives are continuous in the neighborhood of the point x 0 (or x a), then, for any value of x in this neighborhood, the function (x) may be expressed as a power series arranged according to ascending powers of x (or of x a), as follows:

(x)

(0)

(0) x 1!

(0) 2 x 2! (n (n a)

(0) 3 x 3! (x) (a) (n (n (a) (x 1!

(0) n x 1)!

a)n, is called the remainder term; the values of the Here (Pn)xn, or (Qn)(x coef cients Pn and Qn may be expressed as follows: Pn Qn (n)[a [ (n)(sx)] n! s(x n! a)] (1 (1 t)n 1 (n)(tx) (n 1)! t)n 1 (n)[a t(x (n 1)! a)]

where s and t are certain unknown numbers between 0 and 1; the s form is due to Lagrange, the t form to Cauchy The error due to neglecting the remainder term is less than (Pn)xn, or (Qn)(x a)n, where Pn, or Qn, is the largest value taken on by Pn, or Qn, when s or t ranges from 0 to 1 If this error, which depends on both n and x, approaches 0 as n increases (for any given value of x), then the general expression with remainder becomes (for that value of x) a convergent in nite series The sum of the rst few terms of Maclaurin s series gives a good approximation 0; Taylor s series gives a similar approximation to (x) for values of x near x for values near x a Fourier s Series Let (x) be a function which is nite in the interval from x c to x c and whose graph has nite arc length in that interval (see note below) Then, for any value of x between c and c, (x)

In case the curve y (x) is symmetrical with respect to the origin, the a s are all zero, and the series is a sine series In case the curve is symmetrical with respect to the axis, the b s are all zero, and a cosine series results (In this case, the series c and will be valid not only for values of x between c and c, but also for x
