Taylor and Maclaurin Series

Definition of Taylor series:

f(x)=f(a)+f(a)(xa)+f′′(a)(xa)22!++f(n1)(a)(xa)n1(n1)!+Rn
Rn=f(n)(ξ)(xa)nn! where aξx, ( Lagrangue's form )
Rn=f(n)(ξ)(xξ)n1(xa)(n1)! where aξx, ( Cauch's form )

This result holds if f(x) has continuous derivatives of order n at last. If limn+Rn=0, the infinite series obtained is called Taylor series for f(x) about x=a. If a=0 the series is often called a Maclaurin series.
