Lesson 5: Heating and Taylor Method
The objective of this lesson is to determine
when a body thermometer will be heated up close to a person's body temperature.
Here we will use Newton's law of "cooling" where the surrounding
temperature, the body temperature, is higher than the initial temperature of
the body thermometer. We will use a higher order method, which is formulated
via Taylor polynomials
