SUMMARY
The Taylor Series for the function 1/(1+x^2) around x=0 is definitively expressed as 1 - x^2 + x^4 + ... + (-1)^n x^{2n} + ... for the interval |x|<1. This series can be derived directly from the definition of the Taylor series without substituting x=-x^2 into the Taylor series for 1/(1-x). The process involves calculating the derivatives of the function at x=0 and applying them to the Taylor series formula.
