Recap on Power Series, Taylor Polynomials, and Taylor's Inequality https://youtu.be/xajyzNArX68

In this video I go over a quick recap on power series, which is a specific type of infinite series whose terms are powers of x multiplied by coefficients. A Taylor series is a specific type of power series whose coefficients are determined from the coefficients of a function.

Approximating Functions by Taylor Polynomials https://youtu.be/woT9NoaFM_Y In this video, I demonstrate how Taylor polynomials can be used to approximate functions and how to evaluate the accuracy of these approximations by examining the absolute magnitude…
Example 1: Approximating Cube Root Function by a 2nd Degree Taylor Polynomial https://youtu.be/0616gOyjbyQ

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 to be used for the error estimation.

Example 2: Approximating sin(x) with Taylor Polynomials and Calculating its Error https://youtu.be/FYD8E-kxpnk In this video I go over a very in-depth video exploring the trigonometric sine function, its Taylor polynomials approximation, and its associated…
Example 3: Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity vs. Classical Theory for Kinetic Energy https://youtu.be/OQrJllLdbp0

In this video I approximate Albert Einstein's kinetic energy equation from his theory of special relativity and show that at low velocities the equation agrees with the classical Newtonian equation K = (1/2)mv^2.

Exercise 1: Taylor Derivatives Equal the Function's Derivatives at x = a https://youtu.be/UqWf2PE1OeE

In this video I prove that the derivatives of a Taylor Polynomial are equal to the derivatives of the corresponding function used in the approximation when x = a. This is because any derivative at x = a of any Taylor polynomial cancels out all the terms (since a - a = 0) except the first term, which is just the corresponding derivative of f at x = a.
