### How to calculate a series expansion?

To compute a (limited) series expansion of order $n$ of a function $f(x)$ in the neighborhood of a value $a$, if the function is differentiable in $a$, then it is possible to use the Taylor-Young formula which decomposes any function into:

$$f(x) = f(a) + \frac{f'(a)}{1!}(x-a) + \frac{f^{(2)}(a)}{2!}(x-a)^2 + \cdots + \frac{f^{(n)}(a)}{n!}(x-a)^{n} + O(x^{n+1}) \\ = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \frac{f^{(k)}(a)}{k!}(x-a)^{k} + O(x^{n+1})$$

with $O (x^n)$ the Big O (Landau's asymptotic notation) indicating precision, a value tending to be negligible with respect to $(x-a)^n$ in the neighborhood of $a$.
