11.10: Taylor & Maclaurin & Error Bound, oh My!

Why convergence and error matter:

Series can be used to approximate functions by using a partial sum of the series
An infinite series = partial sum + the rest of the terms; therefore, (series) - (partial sum) = error
- we need to know where it is a good approximation of the function: whether and where it converges.
- we need to have a way of measuring how much error is left after we stop adding terms
