Subject: asymptotic expansion of the error function

What do you mean to "perform" the asymptotic expansion? The formula you
cite can certainly be expanded to any number of terms you want by simply
specifying the upper bound, e.g.
sum(x^i, i, 1, 4)
gives x+x^2+x^3+x^4. The cited article also gives an explicit formula for
the remainder, so you should be able to cut off the expansion in an
appropriate place.
