Daniel Staudigel :: Taylor Series

Arrows controls scale.
Drag to change translation.
A/Z controls series length
S/X control start point

This is an interactive taylor expansion. Taylor expansions are used to figure out the solutions to complex functions, such as sine and cosine. It uses derivatives of a function to predict how it will move.

The series length (controlled by A/Z) is how many derivatives are taken into account. The more that are used, the more accurate the model will be. Changing the start point allows one to see more intricately how taylor expansion works.
