Function: elliptic_kc (m)
The complete elliptic integral of the first kind, defined as
integrate(1/sqrt(1 - m*sin(x)^2), x, 0, %pi/2)
Example 1 Compute taylor(elliptic_kc(m), m, 0, 1)
(%i1) taylor(integrate(1/sqrt(1-m*sin(x)^2),x,0,%pi/2),m,0,1);
(%o1)/T/ %pi/2+((at(integrate(sin(x)^2,x,0,%pi/2),m=0))*m)/2+...
(%i2) ev(%,integrate);
(%o2)/R/ (%pi*m+4*%pi)/8
(%i3) taylor(%,m,0,1);
(%o3)/T/ %pi/2+(%pi*m)/8+...
Example 2 Compute taylor(elliptic_kc(m), m, 0, 3)
(%i4) taylor(integrate(1/sqrt(1-m*sin(x)^2),x,0,%pi/2),m,0,3)$
(%i5) ev(%,nouns)$
(%i6) taylor(%,m,0,3);
(%o6)/T/ %pi/2+(%pi*m)/8+(9*%pi*m^2)/128+(25*%pi*m^3)/512+...
