This example illustrates the Taylor series expansion of the exponential function. The gray curve shows the exact function $e^x$. A slider controls the number of terms $n$ in the polynomial approximation. The red curve updates dynamically, and text elements display the current $n$ and the corresponding approximation of $e$.
