Infinite Sequences
An infinite sequence is a function whose domain is the
set of positive integers and whose range is a set of real
numbers. We may denote a sequence by a1, a2, a3, …,
 
by n n 1 , or simply by a n 
a

Taylor and Maclaurin Series

Uniqueness Theorem

The power series representation of a function in x - a is called its

Taylor series after English mathematician Brook Taylor (1685-
1731). If a = 0, the corresponding series is called the Maclaurin
series after the Scottish mathematician Colin Maclaurin (1698-
1746)
