Taylor Series for Functions of o
Taylor Series for Functions of one
Variable
where
Rn, the remainder after n terms, is given by either of the following
forms:
Lagrange’s form Rn = f(n)(x - a)nCauchy’s
form Rn = 
The value ξ, which may be
different in the two forms, lies between a and x. The result holds if f(x) has
continuous derivatives of order n at least.
If limn →
∞ Rn = 0, the
infinite series obtained is called the Taylor series for f(x)
about x = a. If a = 0 the series is often called a Maclaurin series.
These series, often called power series, generally converge for all values of x
in some interval called the interval of convergence and diverge
for all x outside that interval.
Binomial Series

Secial cases are
(a + x)2 = a2 + 2ax + x2
(a + x)3 = a3 + 3a2x + 3ax2 + x3
(a + x)4 = a4 + 4a3x + 6a2x2
+ 4ax3 + x4
(1 + x)- 1 = 1 - x + x2 - x3 + x4 -
... - 1 < x < 1
(1 + x)- 2 = 1 - 2x + 3x2 - 4x3 + 5x4
- .... - 1 < x < 1
(1 + x)- 3 = 1 - 3x + 6x2 - 10x3 + 15x4
- .... - 1 < x < 1

Taylor Series for Functions of Two
Variables
f(x, y) = f(a, b) + (x - a).fx(a,
b) + (y - b).fy(a, b) + (1/2!).{(x - a)2.fxx(a,
b) + 2(x - a)(y - b).fxy(a, b) + (y - b)2.fyy(a,
