Dear Calculus 2 Students, This is why you're learning Taylor Series

The video explores the challenges of solving complex real-world equations, often requiring approximations. It introduces Taylor and McLaurin series as tools for approximating solutions to differential equations. The video provides examples of these series in action, particularly in physics and engineering, demonstrating how they simplify complex problems. It concludes by emphasizing the importance of approximations in practical applications.

Discuss the concept of radius of convergence in relation to Taylor series.
