Lecture 7: Taylor Series Validity, Power Series, Vectors, Dot Products, and Cross Product
Part I: Validity of Taylor Series
Taylor Series Failure
Taylor series remainder term
Part II: Power Series
Objectives Know what power series are and how to determine the radius of convergence of power series Know how power series can be manipulated within their radius of convergence Corresponding sections of Simmons: 14.2,14.3
