Here is an example that answer your question. Suppose you represent f =
and g as follows:
f = Sum[a[i] x^i, {i, 1, 10}] + O[x]^11;
g = Sum[b[i] x^i, {i, 1, 10}] + O[x]^11;
In other words, you know the first 10 coefficients in the Taylor =
expansion of f and g at 0. Then you can get:
SeriesCoefficient[f/g,5]
(6)/b(1)-(a(5) b(2))/b(1)^2+(a(4) (b(2)^2/b(1)^2-b(3)/b(1)))/b(1)+(a(3) =
(-(b(2)^3/b(1)^3)+(2 b(3) b(2))/b(1)^2-b(4)/b(1)))/b(1)+(a(2) =
(b(2)^4/b(1)^4-(3 b(3) b(2)^2)/b(1)^3+(2 b(4) =
b(2))/b(1)^2+b(3)^2/b(1)^2-b(5)/b(1)))/b(1)+(a(1) (-(b(2)^5/b(1)^5)+(4 =
b(3) b(2)^3)/b(1)^4-(3 b(4) b(2)^2)/b(1)^3-(3 b(3)^2 b(2))/b(1)^3+(2 =
b(5) b(2))/b(1)^2+(2 b(3) b(4))/b(1)^2-b(6)/b(1)))/b(1)
Of course this will only work for the coefficients that can be =
determined form the given information. So SeriesCoefficient[f/g, 9] =
works fine but
SeriesCoefficient[f/g, 10]
Indeterminate
