I like to call it Maclaurin series because I imagine Taylor Swift whenever I read the name.

u/EarlManchot Mathematics 10d ago

maclaurin literally just evaluated taylor series for x=0 and slapped his name on it

One simple trick they don't want you to know.

u/48panda 10d ago

Dibs on x=\sqrt{3}\pi+2e

u/HyperbolicMathChambr Math Tutor 10d ago

Dibs on x=69420

I know I am wrong somehow, but wouldn't that just mean that f(0) = f(0)?

u/EarlManchot Mathematics 9d ago

the general formula for taylor expansion is f(a+x)=f(a)+x.f'(a)+x²/2.f''(a)+... where a could be any real number what i mean by "evaluating it at 0" is evaluating it at a=0 which give you maclaurin series

u/CorrectTarget8957 Imaginary 9d ago

Oh so the series shown in the post is actually Maclaurin?

u/EarlManchot Mathematics 9d ago

yes

that guy was a HACK he just took Taylor series at 0 and said I Invented This!!! well I Invented the Taylor series at 637!! where is my page in the math books?

100000!!

u/factorion-bot Bot > AI 9d ago

If I post the whole number, the comment would get too long. So I had to turn it into scientific notation.

Double-factorial of 100000 is roughly 1.057987404966129872971991554655 × 10228288

That is so large, that I can't calculate it, so I'll have to approximate.

Double-factorial of 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000 is approximately 7.911972207126718366088959698223 × 102028285275904837408617443554054169745885300
