Summary
Unveiling Infinity: A Gentle Introduction to Power Series
This concise textbook introduces calculus students to power series through an informal and captivating narrative that avoids formal proofs but emphasizes understanding the fundamental ideas. Power series—and infinite series in general—are a fundamental tool of pure and applied mathematics. The problems focus on ideas, applications, and creative thinking instead of being repetitive and procedural.
Calculus is about fun…

About The Author
Fernando Q. Gouvêa
Fernando Q. Gouvêa is a number theorist and historian of mathematics. In number theory, he has been interested in the connection between p-adic modular forms and deformations of Galois representations. As a historian, his main focus is on the early history of algebraic number theory, but he has also written on other historical topics. He enjoys books and has written many book reviews for a wide range of publications. For many years, he served as an editor of MAA Focus and MAA Reviews. His current project is a forthcoming book on the history of p-adic numbers and p-adic analysis in the first decades of the twentieth century. Gouvêa’s other books include Arithmetic of p-adic Modular Forms, A Guide to Groups, Rings, and Fields, and (with William P. Berlinghoff) Math through the Ages: A Gentle History for Teachers and Others.
