u taylor
Function: Finds a Taylor polynomial for an expression with respect to a specific variable.
Syntax: taylor (Exp/List, variable, order [,center point] [
)
]
Example: To find a 5th order Taylor polynomial for sin(x) with respect to x = 0 (in the
Radian mode)
Menu Item: [Action][Calculation][taylor]
• Zero is the default when you omit “[,center point]”.
