    The document discusses solving several mathematics problems involving differential equations and Maclaurin series expansions. It asks the reader to: 1) Find the Maclaurin expansion of ln(cos(x)) up to x4 and estimate ln(cos(π/10)), 2) Derive the Maclaurin series for e−sin(x)/x up to x4, and 3) Show that the function g(x)=e−(1/2)xsin(√3x/2) satisfies a differential equation, derive its Maclaurin series, and use it to find related limits and expansions.
