Understand the Taylor Series (with Error Analysis) | Learn Numerical Analysis with Python
The Taylor Series is an important concept in numerical analysis, often being the basis for derivation of many numerical methods. In this video, I present to you not a derivation of the Taylor Series (a quite easy derivation that can be found in other videos) but the tools to utilize it to estimate function values. Additionally, I present and demonstrate the effectiveness of the method through error analysis.
In this series, we will explore numerical methods concepts through the lens of python programming. The benefit of this is to motivate you to learn these methods by presenting their application immediately.
