SeriesExpand

FilledSmallSquare SeriesExpand[f, {x, , n}] generates a power series expansion for f about the point to order .

FilledSmallSquare SeriesExpand can construct standard Taylor series, as well as certain expansions involving negative powers, fractional powers, and logarithms.

FilledSmallSquare SeriesExpand detects certain essential singularities.

FilledSmallSquare SeriesExpand can expand about the point .

FilledSmallSquare SeriesExpand[f, {x, 0, n}] constructs Taylor series for any function f according to the formula .

FilledSmallSquare SeriesExpand effectively evaluates partial derivatives using D. It assumes that different variables are independent.
