Point of Evaluation: The point of evaluation is where we assess or analyze the accuracy of our approximation by comparing it to the true value at that specific point.
A Taylor series is an expansion of a function into an infinite sum of terms, which can be used to represent functions as polynomials centered around a specific point.
Differentiation is the process of finding derivatives, which measure how functions change as their inputs change. It helps us understand rates of change and slopes in various contexts.
