INTRODUCTION

In this workbook, some examples of calculations relating to power series, expansions in Taylor and MacLaurin series and Fourier series are carried out.

Series expansions are a very powerful tool in the context of mathematical analysis.

Power series allow a generalization of any function of real variable and can also be extended to complex analysis.

Taylor series, especially as regards MacLaurin developments, provide a valid support in the calculation of limits and explain, a posteriori, many significant limits.

The Fourier series are part of the more general harmonic analysis, absolutely fundamental in several application fields, such as physics, electromagnetism and telecommunications.

In order to understand in more detail what is explained in the resolution of the exercises, the theoretical context of reference is recalled at the beginning of each chapter.

What is exposed in this workbook is generally addressed in the courses of mathematical analysis 1 (for Taylor series) and mathematical analysis 2 for power and Fourier series.

I

POWER SERIES

A power series is a particular series of functions that can be expressed with this relation:

These series are generalizations of polynomials and the coefficients can assume real or complex values.

The coefficient c is called the center of the series.

A power series converges for some value of the variable x.

There is a value, called radius of convergence, such that the series converges if this condition is met:

The radius of convergence is calculated by the Cauchy-Hadamard formula:

If the limit exists and is finite, i.e. if the radius of convergence is not infinite, then the previous formula can be simplified according to D'Alembert's formula:
