# This notebook uses the [SymPy](http://sympy.org) package to perform symbolic manipulations,
# and combined with numpy and matplotlib, also displays numerical visualizations of symbolically
# constructed expressions.

Parameters
----------
func : a sympy function
x0 : float
Origin of the Taylor series expansion. If not given, x0=xrange[0].
orders : list
List of integers with the orders of Taylor series to show. Default is (2, 4).
xrange : 2-tuple or array.
Either an (xmin, xmax) tuple indicating the x range for the plot (default is (0, 1)),
or the actual array of values to use.
yrange : 2-tuple
(ymin, ymax) tuple indicating the y range for the plot. If not given,
the full range of values will be automatically used.
npts : int
Number of points to sample the x range with. Default is 200.
