List of Maclaurin Series of Some Common Functions
- See also List of mathematical series
Several important Maclaurin series expansions follow. All these expansions are valid for complex arguments x.
Exponential function:
Natural logarithm:
Finite geometric series:
Infinite geometric series:
Variants of the infinite geometric series:
Square root:
Binomial series (includes the square root for α = 1/2 and the infinite geometric series for α = −1):
with generalized binomial coefficients
Trigonometric functions:
Hyperbolic functions:
The numbers Bk appearing in the summation expansions of tan(x) and tanh(x) are the Bernoulli numbers. The Ek in the expansion of sec(x) are Euler numbers.

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, series, common and/or functions:
“My list of things I never pictured myself saying when I pictured myself as a parent has grown over the years.”
—Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
“Love’s boat has been shattered against the life of everyday. You and I are quits, and it’s useless to draw up a list of mutual hurts, sorrows, and pains.”
—Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893–1930)
“Rosalynn said, “Jimmy, if we could only get Prime Minister Begin and President Sadat up here on this mountain for a few days, I believe they might consider how they could prevent another war between their countries.” That gave me the idea, and a few weeks later, I invited both men to join me for a series of private talks. In September 1978, they both came to Camp David.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“All men whilst they are awake are in one common world: but each of them, when he is asleep, is in a world of his own.”
—Plutarch (46–120)
“If photography is allowed to stand in for art in some of its functions it will soon supplant or corrupt it completely thanks to the natural support it will find in the stupidity of the multitude. It must return to its real task, which is to be the servant of the sciences and the arts, but the very humble servant, like printing and shorthand which have neither created nor supplanted literature.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
