This document discusses Maclaurin series and its application to approximate trigonometric functions for small angles. It states that when the angle x is small, terms of x cubed and higher can be ignored in the Maclaurin series. However, if x is added or subtracted, it is no longer a small angle and the full trigonometric formulas must be used instead of the Maclaurin series approximation. The document was created by Nickolas Teo Jia Ming of CG 12/11.

Maclaurin stheorem

Small angle approximation for trigo functions


When we assume that x is small, we can ignore to the power of 3 and above (or otherwise stated by the equation) Multiples of are still considered small E.G. However, if undergoes addition or subtraction, it is no longer small E.G. If undergoes addition or subtraction, you need to use the trigonometric formulas in MF 15
