A Gentle Introduction to Taylor Series

A Gentle Introduction to Taylor Series

Taylor series expansion is an awesome concept, not only the world of mathematics, but also in optimization theory, function approximation and machine learning. It is widely applied in numerical computations when estimates of a function’s values at different points are required.

In this tutorial, you will discover Taylor series and how to approximate the values of a function around different points using its Taylor series expansion.

After completing this tutorial, you will know:

• Taylor series expansion of a function
• How to approximate functions using Taylor series expansion

Let’s get started.
