28.2 Introduction to Series
===========================

Maxima contains functions 'taylor' and 'powerseries' for finding the
series of differentiable functions.  It also has tools such as 'nusum'
capable of finding the closed form of some series.  Operations such as
addition and multiplication work as usual on series.  This section
presents the global variables which control the expansion.
