    This document discusses polynomial approximation and Taylor polynomials. Taylor polynomials provide polynomial approximations of functions by taking the Taylor series expansion about a point. The key points are: 1) Any continuous function on an interval can be approximated by a polynomial to any degree of accuracy over that interval. 2) Taylor polynomials of degree n for a function f(x) are constructed by taking the Taylor series expansion about a point c, using the function's derivatives up to order n. 3) The error in approximating f(x) with the Taylor polynomial is given by the remainder term, which involves the (n+1)th derivative of f.

    Interpolation and Polynomial Approximation


    For a given function 𝒇(𝒙) or a given set of values of 𝒇(𝒙)
    on an interval [𝒂, 𝒃]. The problem is to find a polynomial that
    approximate 𝒇(𝒙) on [𝒂, 𝒃].

    Theorem (Polynomial approximation)


    Suppose that 𝒇(𝒙) is continuous on [𝒂, 𝒃]. Then for any 𝜺 > 0
    there exists a polynomial 𝑷(𝒙) such that
    |𝒇(𝒙) − 𝑷(𝒙)| < 𝜀 for all 𝒙𝝐[𝒂, 𝒃].
