Power series
Introduction
When a calculator evaluates the sine of an angle it does not look up the
value in a table. Instead, it works out the value by evaluating a sufficient
number of the terms in the power series expansion of the sine. The power
series expansion of the sine is:
x3 x5 x 7 x9 x11
sin x  x     

3! 5! 7! 9! 11!
ad inf
This is an identity because the power series is an alternative way of way of
describing the sine. The words ad inf (ad infinitum) mean that the series
continues without end.

Introduction
What is remarkable here is that such an expression as the sine of an angle
can be represented as a polynomial in this way.
x3 x5 x 7 x9 x11
sin x  x     

3! 5! 7! 9! 11!
ad inf
It should be noted here that x must be measured in radians and that the
expansion is valid for all finite values of x – by which is meant that the
right-hand converges for all finite values of x.

Maclaurin’s series
If a given expression f (x) can be differentiated an arbitrary number of
times then provided the expression and its derivatives are defined when
x = 0 the expression it can be represented as a polynomial (power series)
in the form:
iv
f (0)
3 f (0)
4 f (0)
f ( x)  f (0)  xf (0)  x

Approximate values
The Maclaurin series expansions can be used to find approximate
numerical values of expressions. For example, to evaluate 1.02 correct
to 5 decimal places:
1
(0.02) 2 1  1 
(0.02) 3 1  1  3 

Limiting values – indeterminate forms
Power series expansions can sometimes be employed to evaluate the limits
of indeterminate forms. For example:
