  • Let's wrap up our survey of calculus! We have one more type of series to learn, Taylor series, and special case of those called Maclaurin series. This utilizes differentiation, and you'll see some familiar polynomials in this one!

    most math channels on youtube spend like 25 minutes rambling before they get to the actual point, this dude always keeps it concise and straightforward and it boggles my mind how much easier it for me to learn with his vids than anyone else's. cheers mate

    I started from lesson 1 and finished now. I couldn't even solve the simplest algebraic equation and even had trouble doing some arithmetic. Now I can even do calculus. I am planning to study physics so I decided to go through the math playlist first, and then the physics playlist. Thank you so much Dave, you are a really awesome person. :)

I love you, Dave.

Your teaching style is excellent and I don't know, the pressure of exams really makes me go on flow state then i guess...

  • @baptistefenon5222
    @baptistefenon5222 Год назад

    Hey, im a young student and i am passionate about this type of math. I just noted one thing that I didn't find coherent. At 1:18 in the video, you say that the remaining sum is C0. This is so because you calculate f(a). But when we develop the serie, the first term is C0(x-a)^0. What isn't explained is that you consider that 0^0 is 1, when it is actually an undetermined form. Is their any explanation that I dont have which would make me understand this better?

    • @DJ_Dopamine
      @DJ_Dopamine 4 года назад

      The Taylor series of a function f(x) around x=a does not necessarily converge anywhere except at x=a itself, and if it converges, the value at x is not necessarily f(a).

    • @carultch
      @carultch 2 года назад

      Look up the definition of an analytic function, and correspondingly, a non-analytic function.
      The Taylor series will only converge to the function, when it is an analytic function that is infinitely differentiable.

    • @carultch
      @carultch 11 месяцев назад +1

      We evaluated that its derivatives are:
      f'(x) = 4*x^3 + 1
      f"(x) = 12*x^2
      f'"(x) = 24*x
      f""(x) = 24
      Evaluate all of these at x=1:
      f'(1) = 4*1^3 + 1 = 5
      f"(1) = 12*1^2 = 12
      f'"(1) = 24*1 = 24
      f""(1) = 24
      Now divide each of these by their corresponding factorials:
      f'(1)/1! = 5
      f"(1)/2! = 12/2 = 6
      f'"(1)/3! = 24/6 = 4
      f""(1)/4!= 24/24 = 1
      It's zeroth derivative at x=1, is zero, because the original function is x^4 + x - 2, which evaluates to zero
      Thus, we get:
      T(x) = 5*(x - 1) + 6*(x - 1)^2 + 4*(x - 1)^3 + 1*(x - 1)^4

    • @carultch
      @carultch 11 месяцев назад

      Since this already is a polynomial, it's really redundant to do a Taylor series. Any application of a Taylor series, could easily be done directly with the original function. All we need to do is shift the original function, so its input is centered on x=1.
      Given:
      f(x) = x^4 + x - 2
      Let X = x - 1, and rewrite it in terms of capital X.
      Thus: x = X +1
      (X + 1)^4 + (X + 1) - 2
      Expand & simplify:
      X^4 + 4*X^3 + 6*X^2 + 4*X + 1 + (X + 1) - 2
      X^4 + 4*X^3 + 6*X^2 +5*X
      Replace X with (x - 1), and reverse the order:
      (x - 1)^4 + 4*(x - 1)^3 + 6*(x - 1)^2 + 5*(x - 1)
      Result:
      f(x) = 5*(x - 1) + 6*(x - 1)^2 + 4*(x - 1)^3 + (x - 1)^4
