I work through 5 examples of finding nth Taylor Polynomial and Maclaurin Polynomials to estimate the value of any function. I also find the maximum possible error, the Lagrange remainder form, for a given estimation. Note: Z came from weighted mean value theorem when applied to the integral representation of the Taylor's error. Thank you @Prashant Singh for the explanation of that variable! Finding a Taylor Polynomial at 4:34 29:26 Graphs of Taylor Polynomials at 9:55 Estimating with a Taylor Polynomial at 12:13 Upper bound of the estimate at 14:21 29:36 Determining the required degree to meet a maximum error at 24:08 Check out http://www.ProfRobBob.com, there you will find my lessons organized by class/subject and then by topics within each class.
