Question: Approximation Of Function

Thanks to everyone who helped me with the last question. Unfortunately its a double integral, so its even more complicated than I think the program can handle. I tried to approximate the function with mtalyor

 

l := sqrt(1+cos(x)*cos(y)*cos(x+y));

 

however when I plot this function as for example:

 

w = mtaylor(l, [x, y], 5)

 

this function gets worse and worse, it gets flatter, and flatter, why is this? does the series not converge? Is there another way I can approximate the function (l)?

Please Wait...
