Taylor never had to go to school, being completely tutored at home until he entered St. John’s College, Cambridge, in 1701. He took mathematics classes from and and graduated in 1709.

Infinite series became a major new tool in the toolbox of analysis with the publication of ‘ 'Arithmetica Infinitorum' published in 1656. Shortly afterwards many series were published such as ‘s series (1668) and ‘s series (1668) and of course ’s generalized theorem that he worked out famously during the plague years of 1665-1666.

But these consisted mainly of special cases that had been worked out one by one. What was missing was a that could yield a series expression for any curve.

Taylor used concepts of finite differences as well as infinitesimals to derive his formula for a function as a around any point. His derivation in 'Methodus incrementorum directa et inversa' ("Direct and Indirect Methods of Incrementation" - 1715) is not easily recognized today.

The term “Taylor’s series” was probably first used by in 1786, although Condorcet attributed the equation to both Taylor and d’Alembert in 1784. It was in 1797 who immortalized Taylor by claiming that Taylor’s theorem was the foundation of analysis.
