Description
|
|
•
|
The function type/SERIES returns true if the value of expr is Maple's SERIES data structure, explained below.
|
•
|
The SERIES data structure represents an expression as a truncated series in one specified indeterminate, expanded at a particular point. A call to the MultiSeries[multiseries] function will always return an object of this type, or 0.
|
•
|
The SERIES structure has nine entries:
|
2.
|
the list of coefficients, which can be SERIES themselves;
|
3.
|
the coefficient of the term, which can be a function of the variable varying more slowly than the expansion variable. It is 0 if the series is exact with respect to its expansion variable (see below);
|
4.
|
the common type of its coefficients;
|
5.
|
the list of exponents;
|
6.
|
the exponent of the term;
|
7.
|
the type of the exponents;
|
8.
|
the expansion variable, i.e. the element of the asymptotic basis being used;
|
9.
|
the expression being expanded.
