Taylor and Maclaurin Series

[@edbuckser123]

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

[@eddiesk9081]

Thanks for the teaching

[@hamidalrawi2204]

cant thank you enough for this video. I went to khan academy, and 3blue1brown and didn't understand a thing, finally, before I gave up on it, I came to your video and understood everything. You made it way easier and simple to understand. You are a very talented man !! thank you. !!!

[@michaeldufton2298]

Hamid Alrawi I did the same and agree completely

[@indiagujarati6432]

The 3blue1brown video is aimed at people who already have some prior knowledge about Taylor series.

[@yash3295]

3blue1brown was teaching philosophy not mathematics

[@ayushdugar1698]

3blue1brown is for people that have already some prior knowledge on the topic or have slightly above average intuition skills, clearly you aren't one of them.

[@adflicto1]

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. :)

yes and it feels like completing other side quest and then go fight the boss

let me tell you, your videos are crystal clear and very helpful. never stop man. you are great. PEACE

Your layout is soooo clean. So simple and straight to the point. Thanks so much

[@dougoberman2540]

I have my final exam in about three hours, the air and water show is in town and there are F-16 fighter jets with full throttle roaring overhead, my neighbor is blasting loud music so I can barely hear anything, and yet your video somehow managed to help me understand this concept while all that was going on. I love you, Dave.

[@kozaTG]

nah the dick eating is crazy

[@yuyuvybz]

Are u still alive? How was the exam?

[@losslesscloud4087]

Coincidentally, I just thought about this series this evening. And now open youtube with your video. Thank you so much.

[@nishiva5850]

It's not coincidence, it's called surveillance

[@brie8707]

Well, I think I found my new favorite tutoring channel. This helped me catch the concepts I couldn't quite grasp, and I really appreciate it.

[@noone12323]

I watched this video 2 years ago and untill watching this video now, I was unable to understand this simple concept (maybe my overthinking was making it difficult for me to understand this) but now, that I am watching this one day before exam, I don't know why but this just feels like a piece of cake. Your teaching style is excellent and I don't know, the pressure of exams really makes me go on flow state then i guess...

[@michaeldufton2298]

I’ve watched a lot of videos from other sites struggling to get an intuitive understanding of the Taylor series. After watching this, I’m finally getting it, and finding Dave’s other videos just as great.Really helpful, thanks so much!

[@BloxxingDinosaurus]

Searching for this topic in the German KZbin Math space didn't do me much, I found the explanations of the Taylorreihe too confusing. So I decided to search for the Taylor Series in English, and thankfully, Professor Dave covered it, and I can finally understand the concept now.

[@Sandeeppappugodsgrace]

I don't find any words in telling u how clear and simple u make the videos .. lots of respect and love to u !!

[@overlordprincekhan]

I think man you are god gifted teacher. The world needs your lectures, keep it up bro!

[@muhammadyazeedtaseeu8539]

ohh professor dave you are naturally ahead.... this video makes me clear understand about taylor's and maclaurin series

[@colorx6030]

Oh Dang, this was the last topic of the series? That's bittersweet. I'm happy that I have finished this Calculus playlist but I'm sad that I would need to find other channels now for even more advanced Math. But hey, it was still a fun ride. I'm glad and happy that I was able to finish this playlist.

[@stringtheorymusical8413]

This is a stupendous , marvelous job. You wouldnt imagine how many materials I have been looking for MGF with taylor series also why e^x was used generally as the RVS.Thank you so much.

Great video, thanks, wanted to point out at 6:01, it should be a=0 and not x=0 for Maclaurin series.

finding this before my calculus exam being like, wait this isnt discovery institute but its still Dave

[@bigseekersb]

I've done well in studying Calculus so far, but I find this topic quite challenging. Thankfully, it is finally starting to make sense to me, due to Professor Dave's more streamlined approach. Too many instructors think you must know the entire history of China before they can show you how to make a cup of tea.

[@liamyana0608]

Derivative to e^x is e^x yes this fact we know from Maclaurin series, but we want derive e^x by using Maclaurin series we get infinite loop logic.

[@ramiltaghiyev9712]

8:50 hi everyone. Where do coefficients 5 6 4 1 come from?

[@carultch]

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]

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

[@baptistefenon5222]

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?

[@jeffersonbancaeren]

Great video Prof. Dave I've learned a lot , but there's something you forget with the Checking Comprehension (number 2 problem) There's no , P_0(x)= f(1)=2 🌺💗

[@moreblessingmushohwe6506]

Lot's of love man. You are the bomb! When I was watching your video, I couldn't help nodding. I was just like "mmmm Math makes sense after all".

[@mohammadpourheydarian5877]

Very beautiful. Thank you.

[@yusufdadkhah7561]

i am at 8:53. you have made a mistake, you showed the message the Taylor series is expanding with expansion about x=0, at (5:55) the grammar of the message is wrong, it is not the taylor series and the sentence should be saying a Taylor series is expanding through expansion and x is about 0. unless you meant at that point where x=0 or at the point where x is about 0. 6:14 (definitions) 6:35(maclurin series and base e) you also did not explain why the top terms can go away properly. the proper explanation is: the maclurin series is the wrong type of maclurin series on its own is wrong and doesn't have all the right terms for it. hence we correct it, to get the right maclurin series and to get the right maclaurin series expression we must work from e^0=1 and e^x=1, thus x=0. we cancel 0 from e^0 from e^0=1 and from sigma where the end point is infinity and n=0 and the rule given is f^n)(0/2!. f gets replaced by e since f^2=1 when n=0 and e^0 this replaces 0 with x since x=0 thus getting the right type of maclurin series that represents f(x)=e^x i.e the sigma where infinity is the end point and n=0 is the starting point and x/2! and x^n is on the right of the fraction.. also you have not explained how to get the Taylor series for the last questions. the explanation seemed to be: do f(x)=1/ x, f"(x)=-1/x^2, f"'(x)=2/x^3, F(4)x=-6/x^4, fx=x-1-(x-1)^2/2+x-1^3/3-x-1^4/4 since n gets substituded for a, and that we also must be do that because the limit approaches infinity and adding 3 side way dots after saves you time since the dots means what comes after and that adding 3 dots after takes hardly any time compared to including the rest of the fractions. for problems like that substidue n for x making f(x). for finding the taylor series for x^4+x-2 centered at a=1, we subtract the power 4 by 1thus gettung the power 3 and substituting x for 1 or whatever the value of a is given for.

[@navagharkiran5769]

this is the same way we get all trigonometry series mostly used sin and cos

[@wsar7669]

[@MrRandel100]

Brilliant explanation, but also how do we call "a" in this topic, when we say function is centered at a=1?

[@luminousvalentine8011]

Basically it's f(a) and as it says centered at 1 so f(1) so like it says nth derivative of f(a) so first you find the derivatives then plug in the value
