If I enter, say:
define(t(x),taylor(f(x),x,a,10));
where f(x) is a symbolic (that is, undefined) function, I get an expression
full of derivatives, as I should. How can I integrate this series term by
term? Does Maxima have any flags or functions which will allow me to
integrate a symbolic derivative?
I *can* do:
define(df(x), diff(f(x),x,4));
and then
integrate(df(x),x,a,a+h);
say, but I can't do this in the context of a Taylor series, when
the derivatives are evaluated at x=a.
Any advice?
Thanks,
Alasdair
