Do you like calculus? Me, I love it! One of the ideas in calculus is Taylor expansion, that is, representing a differentiable function as an infinite series. In practice, this means that any differentiable, and therefore continuous, function can be estimated by a polynomial of a high degree. The terms of the higher degree would then be assumed to be negligibly small.
