Newton Polynomial - Taylor Polynomial

Taylor Polynomial

The limit of the Newton polynomial if all nodes coincide is a Taylor polynomial, because the divided differences become derivatives.

$\lim_{(x_0,\dots,x_n)\to(z,\dots,z)} f + f\cdot(\xi-x_0) + \dots + f\cdot(\xi-x_0)\cdot\dots\cdot(\xi-x_{n-1})$

$= f(z) + f'(z)\cdot(\xi-z) + \dots + \frac{f^{(n)}(z)}{n!}\cdot(\xi-z)^n$

Famous quotes containing the word taylor:

“It was palpable, all that wanting: Mother wanting something more, Dad wanting something more, everyone wanting something more. This wasn’t going to do for us fifties girls; we were going to have to change the equation even if it meant . . . abstaining from motherhood, because clearly that was where Mother got caught.”
—Anne Taylor Fleming (20th century)
