Recently, Maple added a command for generating such a perturbation expansion, and included it in the Student ODEs package where it inherits the ability to provide the steps of the calculation. We'll demonstrate this functionality, and for added insight also obtain the expansion without this package, ending up with analytic and visual evidence of the dependence of the frequency on the initial amplitude for the nonlinear oscillator.
