where each of the derivatives is to be evaluated at <math>x=x_0</math>. If as <math>N\rightarrow\infty</math> the series converges, then it is exact. Otherwise, it can be used as an approximation. Often, Taylor series are performed around <math>x_0=0</math>, in which case they are sometimes also known as a [[Maclaurin series]].
