SUMMARY
The Taylor Series for the function f(w) = 1/w centered at w0 = 1 is derived using the formula 1/w = 1/(1 + (w-1)). This series converges for the condition |w-1| < 1, confirming that the series is valid within this radius of convergence. The series can be expressed as a power series using the geometric series expansion, specifically \(\sum (-1)^n (w-1)^n\). This conclusion is essential for understanding the behavior of the function near the center point.
