great update and a minor stuff: "\pm" ?

Hi Christina, thanks for the great update. I love your version more than the previous one. I was about to change sometime but just paused to confirm.

Was it intentional to have a \pm before the omitted terms in the sine expansion?

Hi, the changes are Christina's, the \pm and \mp is from me. What's wrong with it?

I simply didn't understand it, and frankly I haven't seen people using that for omitting terms for the sine series. Perhaps Stewart wrote it that way? I haven't previewed that section yet. If you think it's right, sure just let it stay. I was thinking if it was a typo and realized it couldn't be, so there was something intentional that I could not catch.

Feel free to remove it. We should use the notation the students would be most comfortable with. It is just here to indicate the alternating signs of the following terms.
