Throughout this chapter the notation S is used to denote the j th element of the series S . As in a list or vector, the first element of a series has the subscript zero. This syntax is also used when series are printed.
Series are self-evaluating objects and the series data type is disjoint from all other types.
The function series returns an unbounded series that endlessly repeats the values of the arguments. The second example below shows the preferred method for constructing a bounded series.
