Taylor noun. E19.
[Brook Taylor (1685-1731), English mathematician.]
Math.
Taylor's theorem, the theorem that the values of a function f(x) can be approximated over any interval throughout which its first n derivatives exist by the first n terms of Taylor's series (with h=xa) plus a remainder dependent on the nth derivative of f(x). E19.
Taylor series, Taylor's series, an infinite series of the form f(a)+hf'(a)+h2f(a)/2!+...+hn1f(n1)(a)/(n1)!+..., where f(i)(a) is the value of the ith derivative of a function f(x) at x=a; an analogous series for a function of more than one variable. M19.
