Inverted Polynomial Division and Taylor Polynomials

64563_logo_final.GIF

Polynomial Division can be used to find Taylor polynomials of rational functions easily and quickly. The polynomial division that does this trick is inverted in the sense that, instead of canceling out the leading terms at each step, one cancels out the trailing terms. Otherwise everything goes just like in the ordinary long division of polynomials.
