"...IN A NEW COLOUR!"<br><b>Fails to click on a colour</b><br>"That is not 'a new colour'!"<br>😂😂😂<br><br>PS. This was the best explanation of MacLaurin's Series I've seen till date. When we did this in college, our prof seemed to use Aladin's magic lamp to bring this series into existence. Thank you for this.

Sometimes you need these tiny details, these tiny bits of intuition to get the picture. You really help with this. Thanks.

The best teachers aren't the smartest ones, it's the ones that doesn't require their students to be very smart to learn.

Amazing! When my college professor explained this he didn't even bother to tell us what we were actually doing/finding. He just basically gave us the formula. Thanks so much!

I was really bad at Maclauren and Taylor series when I was in Calc 1, and now I'm learning about Laurent series in Complex Analysis. This video helped me tremendously to understand it because I'm too lazy/exhausted to read about it. Thanks again, Mr. Khan.
