Welcome back to Math and Engineering Made Easy!
In this session, we continue our discussion on Taylor series by focusing on one of the most important questions:
👉 How accurate is a Taylor approximation?
In this video, you’ll learn how to use the Taylor Remainder Theorem to determine the maximum possible error when approximating a function using a finite Taylor polynomial.
Topics covered include:
Quick recap of Taylor series approximation
What the remainder term represents
How to find an upper bound on the error
Choosing the correct value of z to maximize the remainder
Understanding why we use absolute value for error
Step-by-step examples including:
Approximating √4.2 using a Taylor polynomial centered at 4
Estimating ln(1.3) using a Taylor expansion around 1
Comparing the approximation with the true calculator value
Deciding how many terms are needed to achieve a desired accuracy (e.g., one millionth)
This lesson is essential for students in Calculus II, Engineering Mathematics, and anyone studying power series, numerical approximation, or error analysis.
If you have questions or want to see more examples, feel free to leave a comment — I’ll be happy to help.
