Taylor's Theorem

What is Taylor's theorem?




In calculus, Taylor's theorem gives an approximation of a k-times differentiable function around a given point by a k-th order Taylor polynomial.

What is Maclaurin series expansion?

In calculus, Taylor's theorem gives an approximation of a k-times differentiable function around a given point by a k-th order Taylor polynomial.

Why is the Taylor series important?

Taylor series are important because they allow us to compute functions that cannot be computed directly. ... We can obtain an approximation by truncating the infinite Taylor series into a finite-degree Taylor polynomial, which we can evaluate.

What is a series expansion?

In mathematics, a series expansion is a method for calculating a function that cannot be expressed by just elementary operators (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division). The resulting so-called series often can be limited to a finite number of terms, thus yielding an approximation of the function.

What is the Taylor formula?

A one-dimensional Taylor series is an expansion of a real function about a point is given by. (1) If , the expansion is known as a Maclaurin series. Taylor's theorem (actually discovered first by Gregory) states that any function satisfying certain conditions can be expressed as a Taylor series.

Is a power series a type of Taylor series?

As for generating functions, these are more formal objects, the analysis of which doesn't really deal with the issue of convergence as much as the analysis a power series or a Taylor series does. ... A generating function is a power series of the form ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n x n where the coefficients a are natural numbers.
