#approximation

In this video, I show that modifying our earlier Theorem 2 remainder estimate by adding the partial sum to both sides of the inequality provides a much better approximation than simply using the partial

Tutorial on approximating the sum of infinite series by using an interval via the remainder estimation theorem rather than just the partial sum.

In this video I approximate the cube root function x^(1/3) by using a 2nd degree Taylor polynomial at a = 8. The first step is to obtain the first 2 derivatives of f at x = 8, and then the third derivative

Hi there. In this math & Python post, I cover one way of approximating the value of pi in Python programming. It is based on this .pdf link here. That .pdf link mentions MATLAB but I'll use Python
