The operators Series[]//Normal will do the job for you. For example:
expr = 1/Sqrt[R^2 + G^2];
Simplify[Series[expr, {R, 0, 2}], Assumptions -> G> 0]
Simplify[Series[expr, {R, 0, 2}] // Normal, Assumptions -> G> 0]
SeriesData[R, 0, {G^(-1), 0, Rational[-1, 2] G^(-3)}, 0, 3, 1]
1/G - R^2/(2 G^3)
Have fun. Alexei
Is there a way to tell Mathematica to simplify and approximate an
expression assuming things such as "R is a lot smaller than G"/ R<<G ?
If not so, how would you approach the problem?
Thanks
