taylortool
Taylor series calculator
Syntax
Description
taylortool initiates a GUI that computes the
Taylor series expansion. The GUI that graphs a function against the Nth partial sum of its
Taylor series about a base point x = a. The default function, value of N,
base point, and interval of computation for taylortool are f =
x*cos(x), N = 7, a = 0, and
[-2*pi,2*pi], respectively.
Examples
Find Taylor Series Expansion of Function
Open a GUI that computes the Taylor series expansion. By default, the GUI shows the Taylor series expansion of the function f(x) = x*cos(x). The blue solid line shows the function f(x) and the red dashed line shows its Taylor approximation.
taylortool
Next, find the Taylor series expansion of the function cos(x).
