Title: 16_5 Maclaurin and Taylor Series
Course: HELM Workbooks 2023-2024 > Section: HELM 16: Sequences and Series

This section examines how functions may be expressed in terms of power series. This is an
extremely useful way of expressing a function since we can then replace ‘complicated’
functions in terms of ‘simple’ polynomials. The only requirement is that the
‘complicated’ function should be smooth; this means that at a point of interest, it must be possible to differentiate the function as often as we please.
