Sometimes you can't find answers of maths problems exactly. You have to approximate it. This is what this class is for. Also featuring me trying to do stuff with the Taylor series.

Additional note for 5:44 that I should have mentioned: Taylor series, in the simplest explanation, says that you can turn any (continuous) function into a polynomial with infinitely many terms. However, if you take a few first terms of that polynomial, you can get a good approximation of the function around a certain point. We use that to calculate the error of our approximation. I haven't explained that too well.
