Computing true percent relative error (Taylor Series)
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The discussion centers on computing the true percent relative error using the Taylor Series, specifically the Maclaurin series, which is a Taylor series expansion around the point c=0. Participants seek clarification on the relationship between the Maclaurin series and the Taylor series, as well as guidance on calculating the absolute error |εt| for a given function. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding these series in the context of error analysis in numerical methods.
