Taylor and Maclaurin Series - Example 1

Taylor and Maclaurin Series - An example of finding the Maclaurin series for a function is shown. In another video, I will find a Taylor series expansion, so look for that one too! For more free math videos, visit http://PatrickJMT.com

Yea, gotta agree with everyone else, you rock man. Thanks for doing this, it really is making a difference for a lot of people. I tell people about your videos in every math class I take. I know you make ad revenue off this stuff, but it's still awesome that you take the time to help the little guys behind you.  Keep doing what you're doing because there are a lot of engineering, science and math diplomas out there that were granted partly because of your work.

@ranger0785 i do make a little money from this, yes. but for the first year and a half i was doing it cause i wanted to help and that has not changed!

Wow! you are so much better than my teacher! LIFE SAVER MAN! Thank you!!

I was wondering if you had any tutorials about like vectors and things.. like stuff related to de moivre theorem and stuff? It fine if you dont, you dont have to make anything, was just wondering..

@wowwowweewow4wow search, and ye shall find

Try crayon next. You haven't lived until you've done calculus in crayon.

I am currently using it right now in an aero design course. We have to find an accurate approximation for takeoff and climb performance of our planes. Many texts offer a simple equation to determine these performances but they are based off many assumptions. The taylor series is suppose to give us a more accurate representation. They also told use there was and almost always is a simpler way to solve an equation than using taylor series. Series are also helpful with orbits.

@myterribletube A computer doesn't know what sin(x) means, but it does know what 1 + 2.1 + 3.2 + 4.3 + ......... forever equals

Thank you so much for your videos! I went back to school after 10 years since my last math class which was Calculus. I went back to school and started off with Calculus 2 and the only reason I made it because of your videos. I appreciate what you do and I wish you many good tidings!
