It is the purpose of this paper to study the approximation to real functions by certain power series. Specifically, Taylor's series and generalizations of Taylor's series are considered. The importance of the behavior of the remainder, defined in chapter 1, demands a study of the difference between a function and the terms of an approximation sequence. Thus, this paper is devoted to the presentation of various forms of the remainder term when the approximation is by Taylor's expansion or some of its generalizations. / "May, 1955." / Typescript. / Advisor: B.
