The formulae booklet contains the following Maclaurin series of standard functions.
Exponential function
\(e^x = 1 + x + \frac{x^2}{2!} + \frac{x^3}{3!} + \cdots + \frac{x^n}{n!} + \cdots, \quad x \in \mathbb{R}. \)
Sinusoidal functions
\( \sin x = x - \frac{x^3}{3!} + \frac{x^5}{5!} - \frac{x^7}{7!} + \cdots + \frac{(-1)^k}{(2k+1)!} x^{2k+1} + \cdots, \quad x \in \mathbb{R}.\)
\(\cos x = 1 - \frac{x^2}{2!} + \frac{x^4}{4!} - \frac{x^6}{6!} + \cdots + \frac{(-1)^k}{(2k)!} x^{2k} + \cdots, \quad x \in \mathbb{R}.\)
Translated natural logarithm
\(\ln(1+x) = x - \frac{x^2}{2} + \frac{x^3}{3} + \cdots + \frac{(-1)^{k+1}}{k} x^k + \cdots, \quad -1 < x \leq 1.\)
Inverse tangent formula
\(\arctan x = x - \frac{x^3}{3} + \frac{x^5}{5} + \cdots + \frac{(-1)^{k+1}}{2k-1} x^{2k-1} + \cdots, \quad -1 < x < 1. \)
