SO THIS IS OUR QUEST:
(1) To understand the meaning of addition of
infinitely many numbers which are getting infinitely small.
(2) To get formulas for our most important
functions as ``infinitely long polynomials'' (Taylor series).
(3) To be able to use such formulas for practical
tasks, like estimating function values or solving differential
equations.
Exercise 2:
If f(x) = ex and
and Tn(x) = 1 + x +
x2 / 2! + x3 / 3! + ... + xn/ n! ,
show that f(n)(0) = 1 =
Tn(n)(0).
