Online Algebra Calculator
Many of users do not use powerful Maxima computer algebra system for systematic work, but for ad hoc algebraic calculations – equations, functions, matrixes, etc. only. To do this job, it is not useful to download the whole application from a web site.
-- Option variable: taylor_logexpand Default value: true
taylor_logexpand controls expansions of logarithms in taylor series.
When taylor_logexpand is true, all logarithms are expanded fully so that zero-recognition problems involving logarithmic identities do not disturb the expansion process. However, this scheme is not always mathematically correct since it ignores branch information.
When taylor_logexpand is set to false, then the only expansion of logarithms that occur is that necessary to obtain a formal power series.
