+===== Taylor Series =====
+The Taylor Series for the exponential function diverges quickly if less than 100 terms are used.  These terms tend to have enormous numerators and denominators.   The numerator is usually x^100, and the denominator is 100!.   Floating point math is not suited to represent these values as the number of terms exceeds 100ish.
