I should point out that Taylor Series expansions can end - for polynomials [[Special:Contributions/172.70.114.157|172.70.114.157]] 17:23, 11 April 2022 (UTC) | I should point out that Taylor Series expansions can end - for polynomials [[Special:Contributions/172.70.114.157|172.70.114.157]] 17:23, 11 April 2022 (UTC) | ||

Non-mathematician here: what I don't get (and would appreciate having explained) is why he chose this specific instance of an {{w|Series_(mathematics)|infinite series}}. Is there something special about a Taylor series that makes it work best for this joke? Some deeper pun here that "Taylor Series" brings, over just using "(Laurent|Fourier|Dirichlet|Infinite) series" or even "Zeno's Paradox"? --[[Special:Contributions/172.69.69.182|172.69.69.182]] 19:44, 11 April 2022 (UTC) | Non-mathematician here: what I don't get (and would appreciate having explained) is why he chose this specific instance of an {{w|Series_(mathematics)|infinite series}}.

− | :Taylor | + | :Taylor serie is approximation of arbitrary function. Fourier serie is also approximation of arbitrary function, although in different way. Those others are something completely different, though. For example, Taylor serie is not DEFINED as infinite - it just usually is. Saying that Laurent series is infinite is like, well, sure it is, it's defined that way, saying that about Taylor series approximating specific function is actually nontrivial statement. -- [[User:Hkmaly|Hkmaly]] ([[User talk:Hkmaly|talk]]) 00:36, 12 April 2022 (UTC) |

DuckDuckGo's search on "taylor series expansion taken to extremes" is remarkably unsatisfying, the first result being https://www.mathsisfun.com/algebra/taylor-series.html which nonetheless may be of use in the explanation.

Does anyone believe that those theories of the joke could have been made intentionally?
