Trig Review (handed out Jan. 25 in class)
Summary of Section 10.4 (handed out March 1 in class)
Here are two pages where you can see the graphs of Taylor polynomials for various functions. Note that the approximation is good only near the point x=a. Also note that the approximation gets better as the degree n gets larger and that "near" get larger as the degree n gets larger.
