Abstract

Taylor's Theorem is an important theorem which is applied to several disciplines. It is usually taught in a college-level calculus course for the first time. Many students have a hard time to understand or to make applications. In this paper, we look into the history of the development of Taylor's theorem and consider a teaching strategy of the theorem.
