Mathematics is like mountaineering. Slowly climbing up the mountain to reach the answer or prove the theorem. Sometimes it's possible to construct a mathematical machine that lets you fly from the beginning to the result. We can call it the helicopter method. Here we construct a function R_n (x) that makes the proof of Taylor's theorem Fast and Easy.

  • At the end of proof you wrote the last equation which you got using generalized mean value theorem. Can someone explain how can I derive this equality?

    Nice proof anyway :-)

  • @0114mercury Ah, great question. The generalized mean value theorem is used to find an explicit analytic form for the remainder term. We get what is called the Taylor Theorem WITH Remainder. The remainder is a big deal. It is used to confirm (or not) the convergence of the power series. In a rigorous sense the Taylor expansion is useless without the remainder. We have a proof of the GMVT in a previous video: What are Taylor Series? Part 2. Check it out...will add an annotation.
