AP Calculus BC 2018-2019: What Is A Power Series? (March)

AP Calculus BC 2018-2019:
What Is A Power Series?
(March)

UNIT11 ScreenCasts

UNIT11 was all about generating MacLaurin and Taylor Power Series. We started by talking about what a Power Series looks like and how to find the interval of convergence. Also, we found out that where a Power Series converges it converges to a function, eg: 1/(1-x) = sigma(x^n,n,0,infinity) for all Real numbers x less than 1 and all Real numbers x greater than -1. Finally, we learned how to generate a Power Series given function by: theorem, substitution, differentiation, integration or geometric. We also talked about estimating errors when estimating functions with truncated series: Alternating Series Error Bound or LaGrange Error Term.   


We're loving our class set of TI nSPire CX CAS Graphing Calculators from Donorschoose
