VIII Infinite series

FunctionsBrief Usage Descriptions and Examples
ism Find \(\sum_a^bf(n)\) by "ism;f(n);n;a;b;c", where "c" is optional for "b = c". Determine convergence by "ism;f(n);n;1;oo;cv/ac" ("ac" for absolute convergence).
Examples lim;n**(-2)*exp(n);n;oo || ism;1/n**2;n;1;oo || ism;1/n;n;1;oo;cv || ism;n**(-1.5);n;1;oo || ism;(-1)**n;n;0;oo || ism;(-1)^n/n;n;1;oo;ac ||.
ses Taylor series expansion and approximation by "ses;f(x);x;center;nterm;p/n;x0", where "center;nterm;p/n;x0" are optional, default "center = 0", default "nterm = 6" (number of terms), default direction "p" for "+", "n" for "-", and "x0" for approximating f(x) at x = x0.
Examples ses;sin(2*x);x || ses;exp(-x**2);x;0;7 || ses;tan(x);x;0;10;p;0.1 || plt;exp(x);1+x+x**2/2;1+x+x**2/2+x**3/6 ||.
