Aren't the Maclaurin series an expansion of a function about 0
f(x) = f(0) + (f '(0) / 1!) * x + (f ''(0) / 2!) * x^2 + (f '''(0) / 3!) * x^3 + ...

Hi calculateboard and welcome to MHB!

I've moved your question into its own thread. In future, please post any questions you have in your own thread in order to remain on topic and to help prevent threads from becoming convoluted.

If your question pertains to the topic of another thread then it's o.k. to ask it in that thread. :)

Thanks,
