Extra Credit Problem 1 - Fall 2004

Browse to the Mathematics Digital Library web site (www.mathdl.org) to find a mathlet dealing with power series located at http://wims.unice.fr/wims/wims.cgi?session=OX3424A727.4&lang=en&module=tool%2Fanalysis%2Fanimseq .

Follow the instructions to validate each of the main power series listed in the table from Chapter 9.

Experiment with the parameters (especially n) to determine the number of terms needed to make the power series approximate its corresponding function pretty well.

Collect your findings into a typewritten report.

Successful completion of this project will count toward replacing one missed or low quiz grade.
