The Taylor series expansion for the tangent function, centered at 0 (also known as the Maclaurin series), is given by:

tan(x) = x + (x^3)/3 + (2x^5)/15 + (17x^7)/315 + ...

In general, the nth term of the series can be expressed as:

T_n(x) = (-1)^(n-1) * B_(2n) * (2^(2n) - 1) * x^(2n-1) / (2n)!

where n is a positive integer, B_(2n) is the (2n)th Bernoulli number, and n! represents the factorial of n.
