Taylor Series Flashcards
1
Q
A taylor series
A
A taylor series (with centre zo) for a function f is a series of the form
SUM (from n=0, to inf) f^(n) (zo) / n! (z-zo)^n
2
Q
A Maclaurin series
A
A Maclaurin series for a function f is a Taylor series for f with centre 0, that is, a series of the form
SUM (n=0 to inf) f^(n)(0) / n! z^n.

Q
Taylor expansion of a holomorphic function for the taylor expansion of its derivative
A
Suppose that f e H(B(zo, r)), that f'(z) = SUM (n=0, inf) an (z-zo)^n in B(zo, r) and that r>0. Then f(z) =f(zo) + SUM (n=0, inf) an/ (n+1) (z-zo)^n+1 = SUM (n=0, inf) bm (z -zo)^m in B(zo, r) where bm = { f(zo) when m=0, am-1/m when m>=1}
