    Theorem Variables
Click For Summary
Taylor's theorem for two variables is similar to that for one variable, maintaining the core principles. The notation changes, with derivatives represented as vectors or matrices depending on the order of differentiation. Specifically, for the first derivative, it is a vector, while for the second, it becomes a matrix. Understanding these differences is crucial for applying the theorem in multiple dimensions. The foundational concepts remain consistent across both one and two-variable cases.

Hello MHB,
I understand taylor series proof with one variable but how does it work with Two variabels? is it pretty much the same? The one I understand is

Taylor's theorem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Go to proofs Then it's the one under "Derivation for the integral form of the remainder"

Regards,
$$|\pi\rangle$$

Yep. It's pretty much the same.
Note that the symbol $D^\alpha f(\mathbb a)$ is a vector for $\alpha = 1$, a matrix for $\alpha = 2$, a 3-dimensional matrix for $\alpha = 3$, and so on.
