Power series are in many ways the algebraic analog of limited-precision numbers. The Wolfram Language can generate series approximations to virtually any combination of built-in mathematical functions. It will then automatically combine series, truncating to the correct order. The Wolfram Language supports not only ordinary power series, but also Laurent series and Puiseux series, as well as complex asymptotic expansions for special functions with elaborate branch cut structures. Many of the formulas used are original to the Wolfram Language.
