這篇文章提出一個簡單的遞迴公式來計算連續隨機變數的分位數之泰勒多項式。它可以在一般具有符號計算功能的數學軟體中輕易地執行這個公式，例如Mathematica （Wolfram, 2003）。這裡舉標準常態分佈和生成有界連續分佈的隨機變數的例子來說明。

This paper presents a simple recursive formula to compute the Taylor polynomial of quantile for a continuous random variable. It is very easy to implement the formula in standard symbolic programming system, for example Mathematica (Wolfram, 2003). Applications of the formula to standard normal distribution and to the generation of random variables for continuous distribution with bounded support are illustrated.
