Intending on a theoretical genetics project for Honours, which involves some first year math, parts of which my memory stalls on. After previous experience, my intended supervisor advised that during this break, I should go through two genetics books. Both of them indirectly expect you to use Taylor approximations, which I can't remember how it works or how to do them. Hence the revision.
Fair enough, then. Wasn't sure if it was a case of, "I'm going on to do second year maths but I forgot first year", for which there's no point revising Taylor series.
Approximations and this applied math stuff eww
M8 it's first year maths - they keep it as rigorous as possible. Also, they pretty much exclusively teach the case where n is infinite - they just the finite approximations to demonstrate the limiting behaviour of the series.
