SeriesExpand

  • SeriesExpand[ f , { x , , n }] generates a power series expansion for f about the point to order .
  • SeriesExpand can construct standard Taylor series, as well as certain expansions involving negative powers, fractional powers, and logarithms.
  • SeriesExpand detects certain essential singularities.
  • SeriesExpand can expand about the point .
  • SeriesExpand[ f , { x , 0, n } ] constructs Taylor series for any function f according to the formula .
  • SeriesExpand effectively evaluates partial derivatives using D . It assumes that different variables are independent.


    Examples

    Using InstantCalculators

    Here are the InstantCalculators for the SeriesExpand function. Enter the parameters for your calculation and click Calculate to see the result.

    In[1]:=

    Out[1]=

    In[2]:=

    Out[2]=

    Entering Commands Directly

    You can paste a template for this command via the Text Input button on the SeriesExpand Function Controller.

    This gives the general Taylor series up to the fifth degree term for a function f .

    In[3]:=

    Out[3]=

    Here is a series for .

    In[4]:=

    Out[4]=

    Here is a series for .

    In[5]:=

    Out[5]=

    You can do arithmetic on series objects.

    In[6]:=

    Out[6]=
