Lesson Plan: Maclaurin Series Mathematics
This lesson plan includes the objectives, prerequisites, and exclusions of the lesson teaching students how to find the Maclaurin series of a function and find the radius of convergence of the series.
Objectives
Students will be able to
- recall that the Maclaurin series of a function is the special case of the Taylor series where ,
- find the Maclaurin series of exponential and trigonometric functions,
- find the radius of convergence of a Maclaurin series.
Prerequisites
Students should already be familiar with
- Taylor polynomials and Taylor series.
Exclusions
Students will not cover
- Maclaurin series of functions other than exponential and trigonometric functions.
