SeriesCoefficient
SeriesCoefficient[series,n]
finds the coefficient of the n -order term in a power series in the form generated by Series.
SeriesCoefficient[f,{x,x0,n}]
finds the coefficient of in the expansion of f about the point .
SeriesCoefficient[f,{x,x0,nx},{y,y0,ny},…]
finds a coefficient in a multivariate series.
Details and Options
