Series
To generate the Taylor series expansion of a function about a point, use the
taylor command.
>
Note: If a Taylor series does not exist, use the series command to find a
general series expansion.
For example, the cosine integral function does not have a taylor series expan-
sion about 0. For more information, refer to the ?Ci help page.

Error, does not have a taylor expansion, try series()
To generate a truncated series expansion of a function about a point, use the
series command.

By default, Maple performs series calculations up to order 6. To use a differ-
ent order, specify a non-negative integer third argument.
