I. INTRODUCTION
TAYLOR SERIES & MACLAURIN SERIES HELP TO APPROXIMATE
FUNCTIONS WITH A SERIES OF POLYNOMIAL FUNCTIONS. IN OTHER
WORDS, YOU’RE CREATING A FUNCTION WITH LOTS OF OTHER SMALLER
FUNCTIONS. TAYLOR SERIES CAN BE USED TO APPROXIMATE A FUNCTION
AROUND ANY VALUE FOR A DIFFERENTIABLE FUNCTION. A MACLAURIN
SERIES IS A SPECIAL CASE OF A TAYLOR SERIES, WHERE “A” IS CENTERED
AROUND X = 0. THE SERIES ARE NAMED AFTER SCOTTISH MATHEMATICIAN
COLIN MACLAURIN. WHILE YOU CAN CALCULATE MACLAURIN SERIES USING
CALCULUS, MANY SERIES FOR COMMON FUNCTIONS HAVE ALREADY BEEN
FOUND.
II. OBJECTIVES:
THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS LAB EXERCISE ARE:
-TO BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND TAYLOR/MACLAURIN SERIES
-TO BE ABLE TO SOLVE PROBLEMS ABOUT TAYLOR/MACLAURIN SERIES
III. DISCUSSION
1. FIND THE TAYLOR SERIES OF THE FUNCTION 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑙𝑛𝑥 at c=1
2. FIND THE TAYLOR SERIES FOR THE FUNCTION

3. FIND THE MACLAURIN SERIES FOR THE FUNCTION

4. FIND THE MACLAURIN SERIES FOR THE FUNCTION

5. FIND THE TAYLOR SERIES FOR THE FUNCTION

6. FIND THE MACLAURIN SERIES FOR THE FUNCTION

7. FIND THE MACLAURIN SERIES FOR THE FUNCTION

8. FIND THE TAYLOR SERIES FOR THE FUNCTION

IV. CONCLUSION
IN CONCLUSION, THESE TWO ARE FOCUSED ON EXPANDING A
PERIODIC FUNCTION INTO AN INFINITE SUM OF SINES AND COSINES. ON
THE OTHER HAND, THE TAYLOR SERIES REPRESENTS A FUNCTION AS AN
INFINITE SUM OF TERMS AND THE MACLAURIN SERIES USES ZERO AS A
SINGLE POINT. WITH THE HELP OF THESE SERIES, WE CAN EASILY
SIMPLIFY A COMPLEX SUM INTO SIMPLE TERMS AND SOLVE THE PROBLEM
WITH EASE. ALL THESE CONCEPTS ARE VERY IMPORTANT AND WITHOUT
THEM SOLVING POLYNOMIALS, DERIVATIVES WOULD BE A TOUGH JOB.
