Feb 8 - Taylor Series (Geometric Series)

Today was our second day of finding Taylor series for functions. We focused on special rational functions that we could treat as representing the sum of a geometric series. The sum formula we're building on from last year in Pre-Calculus is:

Sum of infinite geometric series = 1st term / (1 - ratio),

with the condition that the | ratio | < 1.

We worked a couple examples - mostly this is just some arithmetic and algebra.

Notes from today are below.
