+# Types of error
+## Freefall is example of "truncation error"
+### Truncation error results from approximating exact mathematical procedure
+
+We approximated the derivative as $\delta v/\delta t\approx\Delta v/\Delta t$
+
+Can reduce error by decreasing step size -> $\Delta t$=`delta_time`
+
+## Another example of truncation error is a Taylor series (or Maclaurin if centered at a=0)
+
+Taylor series:
+$f(x)=f(a)+f'(a)(x-a)+\frac{f''(a)}{2!}(x-a)^{2}+\frac{f'''(a)}{3!}(x-a)^{3}+...$
+
+We can approximate the next value in a function by adding Taylor series terms:
+
+|Approximation | formula |
+|---|-------------------------|
+|$0^{th}$-order | $f(x_{i+1})=f(x_{i})+R_{1}$ |
+|$1^{st}$-order | $f(x_{i+1})=f(x_{i})+f'(x_{i})h+R_{2}$ |
+|$2^{nd}$-order | $f(x_{i+1})=f(x_{i})+f'(x_{i})h+\frac{f''(x_{i})}{2!}h^{2}+R_{3}$|
+|$n^{th}$-order | $f(x_{i+1})=f(x_{i})+f'(x_{i})h+\frac{f''(x_{i})}{2!}h^{2}+...\frac{f^{(n)}}{n!}h^{n}+R_{n}$|
+
+Where $R_{n}=\frac{f^{(n+1)}(\xi)}{(n+1)!}h^{n+1}$ is the error associated with truncating the approximation at order $n$.
+
+The $n^{th}$-order approximation estimates that the unknown function, $f(x)$, is equal to an $n^{th}$-order polynomial. 
+
+In the Freefall example, we estimated the function with a $1^{st}$-order approximation, so 
+
+$v(t_{i+1})=v(t_{i})+v'(t_{i})(t_{i+1}-t_{i})+R_{1}$
+
+$v'(t_{i})=\frac{v(t_{i+1})-v(t_{i})}{t_{i+1}-t_{i}}-\frac{R_{1}}{t_{i+1}-t_{i}}$
+
+$\frac{R_{1}}{t_{i+1}-t_{i}}=\frac{v''(\xi)}{2!}(t_{i+1}-t_{i})$
+
+or the truncation error for a first-order Taylor series approximation is
+
+$\frac{R_{1}}{t_{i+1}-t_{i}}=O(\Delta t)$
