    Taylor expansion approximates functions by polynomials and is given by f(x) ≈ f(a) + f'(a)(x-a) + 1/2 f''(a)(x-a)^2 + ... + f^((n))(a)(x-a)^n/n!, where f(a) is the value of the function at the point a, f'(a) is the first derivative of f at a, f''(a) is the second derivative of f at a and so on. It uses derivatives of increasing orders to provide better approximation as more terms are included.
