energy spectrum and its wave function can be obtained from a transcendental equation. In this paper,we solve the
transcendental equation with the Taylor series expansion,which to the first order gives analytical solutions of the energy
spectrum and its wave function. We find that the number of bound states is determined by a dimensionless parameter
R,which is proportional to the width of the well multiplied by the square of the potential height. Except the highest
level wave function,the approximate analytical results show in well agreement with the numerical results. In the
limit of large R,the approximate analytical results recover the exactly solvable problem of an infinite square well.
