Maclaurin series noun1 •Any Taylor series that is centred at 0 (i.e., for which the origin is the reference point used to derive the series from its associated function); for a given infinitely differentiable complex function f, the power series f(0)+(f'(0))/(1!)x+(f(0))/(2!)x²+(f'(0))/(3!)x³+⋯=∑ₙ₌₀ ᪲(f⁽ⁿ⁾(0))/(n!),xⁿ.Analytically there are, of course, two Jacobi series branching off the Maclaurin series, but they are geometrically and physically identical, and involve only an interchange of a and b. — 1953
