Description

In teaching multivariable calculus, I have been looking for a simple means for calculating Taylor polynomials for real valued functions of several variables. It is a relatively simple matter to use Mathematica to generate Taylor polynomials for functions of a single variable... This article will present a simple approach that can be used to generate the Taylor polynomial of any degree for any differentiable multivariate function.
