Laurent series expansion

 

Calling Sequence

Parameters

Description

Examples

Calling Sequence

laurent(f, x=a, n)

laurent(f, x, n)

Parameters

f

-

expression representing the function to be expanded

x

-

the variable of expansion

a

-

the point about which to expand

n

-

(optional) non-negative integer stating the order of expansion

Description

• 

The function laurent computes the Laurent series expansion of f, with respect to the variable x, about the point a, up to order n.

• 

The laurent function is a restriction of the more general series function. See series for a complete explanation of the parameters.

• 

If the result of the series function applied to the specified arguments is a Laurent series with finite principal part (i.e. only a finite number of non-negative powers appear in the series) then this result is returned; otherwise, an error-return occurs.

• 

The command with(numapprox,laurent) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
