Gordon, Sheldon P.; Yang, Yajun – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
This article takes a closer look at the problem of approximating the exponential and logarithmic functions using polynomials. Either as an alternative to or a precursor to Taylor polynomial approximations at the precalculus level, interpolating polynomials are considered. A measure of error is given and the behaviour of the error function is…
