Linearization of Vector Valued Function

We often come across a vector valued function which needs linearization. Depending on the form though, doing it manually is very tedious and prone to error. In this post, let us try to use a computer algebra system, maxima and try to get a linear approximation of a vector valued function. Basic Theory The principle …
