Use this applet to check your work when constructing MacLaurin and Taylor polynomials. It works fairly well with orders up through 5. It has the following features: 1) You can enter a function you want 2) You can center where you want 3) You can find it to different orders, but it slows down after order 5 4) You can evaluate the polynomial at a choice of x 5) It shows the error both numerically and graphically
