Hello everyone, in this opportunity, I want to talk about the Taylor series

Many of us have come across limit, derivative, and/or integral calculus of complicated functions. Taylor's theorem is named after the British mathematician Brook Taylor. This theorem allows us to approximate any function through a polynomial, so the above calculations are simpler in this type of function.

(Taylor Series) Let f be a real or complex function infinitely differentiable at the point x = a then the Taylor series of f (x) centered on a is:

Note that T (x) is the only polynomial that satisfies:

  • Example: The Taylor polynomial of order six, eight and ten for f (x) = sin (x) / x centered at x = 0 is:*

Notes that the higher the order of the polynomial the better the approximation
