Today's exercise is a recap of a problem that confused many people on yesterday's exam.
Write down the first several terms in the Taylor series expansion for ln(y), expanding around 1, and use these terms to estimate ln(2).
On the exam, you were asked about the same expansion, which was described as ln(1+x).
[Hint: define y = y0 +x with y0 = 1]
