A particular case of the Taylor formula. Let a function have derivatives at . Then in some neighbourhood of this point can be represented in the form

where , the -th order remainder term, can be represented in some form or other.

The term "MacLaurin formula" is also used for functions of variables . In this case in the MacLaurin formula is taken to be a multi-index, (see MacLaurin series). The formula is named after C. MacLaurin.


Comments

For some expressions for the remainder and for estimates of it see Taylor formula.
