    sin x = x
Half the problems in EE become trivial once you learn this. Sometimes the universe does a bad job of complying with the approximation though.

Are you familiar with the Taylor series? That's the first organ of the Taylor series, something like two decades ago I checked how accurate it goes past 20 organs:

Guessing that "organ" is a typo for "order", but somehow I kind of like envisioning Taylor series as living organisms, with terms being individual organelles.

Thanks for the smile in the morning.

No Taylor liked to communicate the series musically on various organs. IT got expensive and that’s why noone ever goes beyond the first two or three terms.
