Etymology
Named after Scottish mathematician Colin Maclaurin (1698-1746), who made extensive use of the series.
Noun
*
en calculus Any Taylor series that is centred at 0 (i.e., for which the origin is the reference point used to derive the series from its associated function); for a given infinitely differentiable complex function , the power series .

If the Maclaurin series of f and g converge for |z| < r and g(z) ≠ 0 for 0 ≤ |z| < r, then if the Maclaurin series for f is divided by the Maclaurin series for g by long division (as if the series were polynomials), the resulting series represents f / g for |z| < r.
