  • I believe you computed the Maclaurin series of the function not the general taylor series of the function.

  • come back, come back! <3

  • @34comecome

    In a nutshell, Taylor Series are how we transform functions that are "weird" (e^x, sinx, cosx, ln x, and variants...) into polynomial expressions. Of course, any computer can easily compute sine and cosine, but ultimately, the basis for these calculations is the use of polynomials. Also, practically speaking, it allows you make good approximations of values of certain functions, like finding roots of a number. The result in this video is just to reinforce concepts.

  • i came to see this hot teacher not-simple-minded!

  • @34comecome Sorry. What I meant to say is it does have applications based on the real world, but for the most part if you went round in your everyday life you'd be able to cope without knowing this.

  • @limetang well, in my ignorance then I hope it helps in some way of life, machine, technology or something besides than other tuition stupid costs :)
