In this lecture, we describe an idea of Taylor to approximate complicate functions using simple polynomials of degree k. We derive that coefficients of the best polynomial approximation are given by derivatives of the functions; a famous result called Taylor's Theorem. Also we show how to bound the size of error and how are these approximations useful.
