On the remainder in the Taylor theorem

Classical Analysis and ODEs 2008-12-24 v2

Abstract

We give a short straightforward proof for the bound of the reminder term in the Taylor theorem. The proof uses only induction and the fact that f0f'\geq 0 implies the monotonicity of ff, so it might be an attractive proof to give to undergraduate students.
