I read the article on Taylor series. I think the best evidence that it was a good explanation is that at the end, I thought, “Duh. This stuff is all obvious. When does he get to the hard part?” Note, I’d never heard of Taylor series, and I am not a savant.
Tangentially, I remember a woman explaining Fibonacci numbers in a youtube video with sunflowers and pineapples about 8 years ago. Her handle was something like “the nerd girl” or “mathchick”. I can’t seem to find it again. Does this ring bells for anyone?
Edit: I should have tried harder before asking. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ahXIMUkSXX0 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ahXIMUkSXX0
- andi999 6y agoIt is a good article, but actually it skipped the hard part.
- Shugarl 6y agoWell, I guess it's fine. I might be wrong on this, but I always thought that the goal of this site wasn't to make you an expert on a subject, but to provide you a high-level, intuitive understanding of a subject, which then makes understanding the hard parts/the details waaay easier. (Whereas in college, we'd go straight up to the hard parts after a small introduction.)
