Taylor Series
The Taylor series is a polynomial of infinite degree used to represent functions like sine, cube roots, and the exponential function. They're how some calculators (and Physicists) make approximations.
Calculate the sum of series below. \[\frac{\pi^2}{3!}-\frac{\pi^4}{5!}+\frac{\pi^6}{7!}-\frac{\pi^8}{9!}+\cdots\]

Evaluate the 25th derivative of \[x^3\sin(x^2) \text{ at } x = 0.\]
Hint: Start with the Maclaurin series for \(\sin(x)\) to obtain a series for \(\sin(x^2)\) and then for \(x^3 \sin(x^2).\)
