Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the derivation of the Taylor expansion and the preferred formats for sharing mathematical documents. The contributor provides a Microsoft Word file for the derivation, noting that it can also be opened with LibreOffice and OpenOffice. However, they advocate for using PDF files created with LaTeX for better portability and presentation quality, specifically referencing Overleaf as a suitable platform for this purpose.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Taylor series in calculus
  • Familiarity with document formats: Microsoft Word, PDF, LaTeX
  • Basic knowledge of Overleaf for LaTeX document creation
  • Experience with LibreOffice and OpenOffice for document editing
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore LaTeX document preparation using Overleaf
  • Learn about the advantages of using PDF for mathematical documents
  • Research best practices for sharing mathematical content online
  • Investigate alternatives to Microsoft Word for academic writing
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, educators, and students looking to effectively share and present mathematical derivations and concepts in a professional format.

That is a "Microsoft Word" file. Only people who have Microsoft Word on their computers can open it.
 
Hope this helps someone!

LibreOffice and (probably) OpenOffice can open it as well.
PDF would be more portable, however.

Edit: I merged your other thread into this one.

As a mathematician, I am forced to hate word documents.
