I defined a function:
gts[x_, y_] := Normal[Series[g[x, y], {x, x0, 1}, {y, y0, 1}]]
and when I use it with 'a' and 'b' undefined, I get the value I expect:
gts[a, b]
g[x0,y0] + (a-x0) g^(1,0)[x0,y0] + (b-y0) g^(0,1)[x0,y0] ...
However when I assign values to a and b:
a = x0 + z
b = y0 + z
gts[a,b]
gives me an error:
General::ivar: "x0+z is not a valid variable"
etc.
I would appreciate any help to fix this.
Thanks.
