Frequently Asked Questions
A Taylor expansion approximates a function as an infinite sum of terms calculated from its derivatives at a single point. It provides a polynomial approximation that becomes more accurate as more terms are added.
You can input standard mathematical functions like sin(x), cos(x), exp(x), log(x), x^2, etc. Use JavaScript syntax (e.g., Math.sin, Math.exp). The calculator evaluates numerically.
The calculator uses numerical differentiation with finite differences to approximate derivatives. This works for most smooth functions but may have rounding errors for very high orders.
