Description: I was trying to clarify my question, by replacing the current post (under the header), as follows:

Btw, although the variable $a$ in a Taylor series, is universally quantified, my question in the header allows $a$ to be some constant (and also allows $a$ to be existentially quantified).

Additionally, does this kind of conversion, of $x$ into $(x-a),$ as made in the case of Maclaurin/Taylor series (or in any analogous case the header is asking about), have an accepted name, implying the conversion of $x$ into $(x-a)?$

Comments: Done and a change to the filter may be needed. I don't think the use of Btw (initialism from by the way) is a problem on non-article pages. Nobody (talk) 08:50, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
