Weird Taylor Approximation Example

This is a sketch of a function that is so flat at zero that the nth derivative at zero is 0 for any n. That makes the Maclaurin Series at zero = 0. It is also a good example of a function for which the Taylor Series does not converge to the function uniformly, only locally.
