Introduction to Quadratic Approximation | Single Variable Calculus | Project Ulim

Quadratic approximations give us a better approximation than a linear approximation. We talk about how to get from a linear approximation to a quadratic approximation, and why the formula for the quadratic approximation works. Project Ulim aims to deliver a world-class computer science education for free.
