Taylor expansions for the moments of functions of random variables

In probability theory, it is possible to approximate the moments of a function f of a random variable X using Taylor expansions, provided that f is sufficiently differentiable and that the moments of X are finite. (Wikipedia).

B7 The Taylor polynomial

In this video I repeat the look at the Taylor expansion of e to the power x so that you can become familiar with it. Calculating the derivative of the Taylor expansion of e to the power x, just gives you the Taylor expansion of e to the power x!

MATH2018 Lecture 1.3 Taylor Series and Error Estimation

The Taylor Series lets us find a polynomial approximation for a function of several variables. We use it to estimate the error in a function given small errors in the inputs.

Taylor's Theorem for Remainders

Calculus: Given a Taylor polynomial for a function f(x) with n+1 derivatives, Taylor's Theorem gives us a method for estimating the error from the actual value. The example of f(x) = x^5 + 1 is given. For more videos like this one, please visit the Calculus playlists at this channel.

B6 The Taylor polynomial

One topic in basic calculus that you may not have seen before that is that of the Taylor expansion of a function. It is a series that can be used in stead of the actual function around a certain x-value for easier calculations.
