For definiteness, suppose your series is series = f[x] + O[x]^3 Note that adding the term O[x]^3 automatic coerces series expansion. Now, I must be missing the point of your question. Is R meant to be remainder (of higher order than the given series) or just an arbitrary term? If it is the latter then you can just add it to the series series + R However, if your R is, say, a x^4, then you would need to do this: Normal[series] + a x^4 + O[x]^5 Cheers, Paul -- Paul Abbott Phone: +61 8 6488 2734 School of Physics, M013 Fax: +61 8 6488 1014 The University of Western Australia (CRICOS Provider No 00126G) 35 Stirling Highway Crawley WA 6009 mailto:paul at physics.uwa.edu.au AUSTRALIA http://physics.uwa.edu.au/~paul
