Abstract

In this paper we give an historical synopsis of various Taylor remainders and their different proofs (without being exhaustive). We overview the formulas and the proofs given by such names as Bernoulli, Taylor, MacLaurin, Lagrange, Lacroix, Cauchy, Schlömilch, Roche, Cox, Turquan, Bourget, Koenig, Darboux, Amigues, Teixeira, Peano, Blumenthal, Wolfe and Gonçalves. We end the paper with a new Taylor remainder which generalizes the well-known Lagrange remainder.
