Let ff be an entire function. Prove Taylor's theorem, that there exist complex numbers c0,c1,c_{0}, c_{1}, \ldots such that f(z)=n=0cnznf(z)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} c_{n} z^{n} for all zz. [You may assume Cauchy's Integral Formula.]

For a positive real rr, let Mr=sup{f(z):z=r}M_{r}=\sup \{|f(z)|:|z|=r\}. Explain why we have

cnMrrn\left|c_{n}\right| \leqslant \frac{M_{r}}{r^{n}}

for all nn.

Now let nn and rr be fixed. For which entire functions ff do we have cn=Mrrn?\left|c_{n}\right|=\frac{M_{r}}{r^{n}} ?
