Taylor Approximations and Definite Integrals Sheldon P. Gordon Farmingdale State University of New York gordonsp@ Abstract We investigate the possibility of approximating the value of a definite integral by approximating the integrand rather than using numerical methods to approximate the value of the definite integral. Particular cases considered include examples where the integral is improper, such as an elliptic integral. Keywords Taylor polynomials, Taylor approximations, numerical integration, definite integrals Many of us tend to think of Taylor’s theorem as the capstone for the first
