    For ice cream at the ice cream store, you only get italian style ice cream, but you do have a lot of ice cream on sticks and like ice cream tacos and those are also gelato
    For example those Magnum premium ice creams on sticks are the same formulation in Italy and the US and are just gelato, and if you speak italian but go to the US and get Ben and Jerry's it would also be gelato....

    So when given a polynomial I can fairly reliably turn it into a Taylor series. But how do I get the infinite series sigma notation?

    I’m also fine using the ratio test to find most of the interval of convergence on the right. But I need to know how to describe the polynomial in infinite series sigma notation.

    Yes. However, my original usage was "are you also focaccia or is that very low priority compared to ice cream?" (in response to "I am gelato"), which works both with gelato as a subset of ice cream, as per the expected american usage, or with gelato as synonymous with ice cream, as per the italian usage, which is not entirely inappropriate in this context given that Gooey is in Rome and I'm known to speak italian.

    It takes about 30 seconds to find out their internet works fine.

    The expansion you will just have to look at patterns. See what is increasing by every time, set that to some function of n, etc.

    I agree with ppups in that we might be better able to guide you with an example you are struggling with.

    if a polynomial can be written in a closed form at all wouldn't it necessarily be of finite degree?

    as for the sigma notation, if you have a Taylor series it must be of the form:

    Also chu not that this is helpful at all, but in my experience Taylor series are some of the most useful things to come out of calculus. Like some stuff from calc you don't use at all, but there are many irl situations where it's like, 'yo let's just use the first couple of terms of the Taylor series in order to represent this thing.' I guess what I am saying is that it's something to feel good about learning, unlike some other math things which are like, who cares about this at all outside this class...

    it is really hard to do this without an example but in general sigma is the big symbol, n=0 at the bottom, infinity at the top, and some equation that for a given value of n gives you on of the terms between the plus sign of the infinite series

    so take two terms, the second and the third maybe, and write the third in terms of the second

    that should give you the n parts of the interior of the sigma. the first term in the series gives you most of the rest. There's a little bit of inspection involved.

    Yes

    the examples in your image link cover most of the types of patterns you should get. due to the definition of a taylor series you should expect to have some form of n in the exponent and some form of n or n! in the denominator. the rest should be some function of x that is repeating in every term. add a (-1)^n to the front if the sign flips every other term.
