In this course, two of the primary examples we will be using are the potential due to gravity and the potential due to an electric charge. Both of these forces vary like \(\frac{1}{r}\), so they will have many, many similarities. Most of the calculations we do for the one case will be true for the other. But there are some extremely important differences:

Shown below is a contour plot of a scalar field, \(\mu(x,y)\). Assume that \(x\)
and \(y\) are measured in meters and that \(\mu\) is measured in kilograms.
Four points are indicated on the plot.

Look up and memorize the power series to fourth order for \(e^z\), \(\sin z\), \(\cos z\), \((1+z)^p\) and \(\ln(1+z)\). For what values of \(z\) do these series converge?
