5.exploration With CAS-I.Lab5

The document provides instructions for writing Scilab code to estimate errors in functions' Taylor series approximations and to compare functions to their Taylor series expansions by plotting, including calculating the error between e^x and its Taylor series approximation at x=1 and between sinx and its Taylor series approximation at x=π/2. Algorithms are given for estimating errors and plotting functions against Taylor series approximations up to a given order n.
