These are my notes from a lecture on Taylor series given as a boot camp to incoming bioengineering juniors given on August 17, 2016.
Applications covered
- Paraxial approximation in optics
- Estimation of error in numerical differentation
- Higher order numerical difference formulas with lower error
- Numerical integration and error in euler’s method
- Derivation of continuity equation.
