Power Series - Representation of Functions - Calculus 2

This calculus 2 video tutorial provides a basic introduction into the representation of functions as power series. It explains how to represent a function as a power series centered at 0 and centered at some value c. It also explains how to approximate function values using geometric power series. This video also explains how to find the radius of convergence and the interval of convergence of a geometric power series. To write a power series from a function, you need to write the function in the form of the formula for the infinite sum of a geometric series. To find the interval of convergence, find the common ratio represented by some variable expression of x and set it less than 1 and solve the inequality. This video also includes examples and practice problems of adding and subtracting power series as well as using partial fraction decomposition.

behind every successful student stands the organic Chemistry Tutor

[Lefachie]

you're a celebrity in my math class. we all talk about you, because we've all watched you. i was doing a problem on the board and my professor asked me if i watched "the organic chemistry turor" because she noticed that my notation was almost identical to yours. thanks man. i really appreciate your work

[lorainesperling]

I have a feeling theses videos are about to blow up from all the students trying to get help for their online classes because of COVID-19

[kylebledsoe]

You just saved me! My calc 2 class went online and my textbook is extremely bare-bones and my teacher doesn't know how to do video lectures. Thank you so much for being so in-depth!

[razabazal]

come on people just like two or three more sections to go then calc 2 is over we can do this!!! This is the hardest class i have taken so far without a doubt but it will all be over soon.

[sydneywest]

I don't know if its the way you articulate each step over and over, even the smallest things, but I have studied your videos for a few hours and feel like I have genuinely studied this stuff for months. Its the way you set up your videos and subtly introduce nuances and slight difficulties so that when Im done I realize I have done all the problems with "tricks" and see how the concepts relate to each other. Truly brilliant.

[Kokiriboy]

I've been stressing over this stuff for the last 48 hours. My textbook and our math resource room was unable to help. You came to my rescue. I thank you sir!

[devinmurphy]

Can we all just appreciate this man and his ability to save me on every single one of my calc tests. Explanations more clear than my actual Calc Professor

[franksucro]

Honestly dude, thank you so much. Your videos literally help with anything. Some lectures just buzz through and don't truly get into need-to-know details. You make everything so simple and understandable.

[TheVirtualObserver]

I have a fighting chance at my exam in a few hours because of your videos. Thank you SO MUCH for making these and for going over multiple examples of each type of problem in each vid. You're the best!! 😍

[yonatandesta]

Welcome to the Calc 2 struggle bus 😂😂😂

[bengrosskreuz]

I have an exam on this tommorrow and you didn't have these videos out at the beginning of the unit but you made them just in time!! Literally watching his videos makes everything so much easier to understand!!!!

[DEUG]

i'm taking my calc 2 final today and i've been on ur page ALL DAY, hope it pays off

[Xnibblet]

I think I've watched the majority of your videos. You are a master teacher over the web. Thank you so much for this and all other videos you do.

[tinochigwada]

I have been using your videos since I was doing IGCSE O-level Cambridge examinations and now look at me in college still using your videos. I understand calculus 2 because of you! I know I'll be back on your youtube channel for calculus 3. You're my mathematical hero!! God Bless you * infinity!!

[kimberlyheagerty]

this man really knows how to do everything

[MsSugarbunnies]

This is such a blessing during COVID-19 times, especially since classes have been suspended. I can barely understand during class, and this is beyond helpful!! Thank you so much for your hard work and now I can pass my final tomorrow.

[rimmiekim]

God bless you, man 🙌🏼😭. you doing God’s work out here by helping us struggling students.

[dalisabe]

Very thorough, articulate and clear. Fantastic job. The future of affordable learning as tuition is becoming an obstacle to education, we need more bright and generous souls like yours to make it happen. I look forward to the day when education becomes an open source project with tailored curriculum to fit any need. We need to abandon the politics of degrees and replace it with deep understanding of the subjects required to perform certain tasks. This is not undermining the value of formal education with all its elective requirements, mainly humanities and liberal arts subjects, but when cost of education becomes a problem, we need to prioritize our needs. Thanks a ton!

[devkaneria]

You are amazing ! Got my exam in couple of days and i'm really confident about it because of your videos! The stuffs my profs teach in couple 3-4 hours you teach it in less than an hour.
