Taylor Series
If you count infinite natural numbers you can't end up with a finite value but infinity, hence it diverges, not converges.
What?

What class are you in @outer flume?

I take it I'm too far gone to learn this? but I would like to know how it works
That's kinda cute haha
But to understand Taylor Series you should have basic skills in differentiations and understand how derivatives work.
This is basically a way to describe the exponential function with base e in terms of polynomials
which is sweet in mathematics as it sometimes simplifies calculations or brings other advantages to rewrite something in polynomials.
What is it?

Differentiation is then rules how to calculate the derivative of a function. Once you get a good grasp of it you may consider to learn Taylor Series.
But as mentioned, Taylor Series is a nice way to write any non-polynomial function into a polynomial one.
