NUMERICAL CALCULUS PACKAGE SYMBOL
NSeries
gives a numerical approximation to the series expansion of f about the point
including the terms
through
.
DetailsDetails
- To use
, you first need to load the Numerical Calculus Package using Needs["NumericalCalculus`"]. - The function f must be numeric when its argument x is numeric.
will construct standard univariate Taylor or Laurent series.
samples f at points on a circle in the complex plane centered at
and uses InverseFourier. The option Radius specifies the radius of the circle.- The region of convergence will be the annulus (containing the sampled points) where f is analytic.
will not return a correct result if the disk centered at
contains a branch cut of f.- The result of
is a SeriesData object. - If the result of
is a Laurent series, then the SeriesData object is not a correct representation of the series, as higher-order poles are neglected. - No effort is made to justify the precision in each of the coefficients of the series.
is unable to recognize small numbers that should in fact be zero. Chop is often needed to eliminate these spurious residuals.- The number of sample points chosen is
. - The following options can be given:
-
Radius 1 radius of circle on which f is sampled WorkingPrecision MachinePrecision precision used in internal computations
