Thank you very much to everyone for all your help. I've now solved the issue I was having trouble with - the reason finding the coefficients of the y terms didn't give me the required results was because the generating function was really in terms of one variable (p), not two, and required values to be substituted in for y's rather than finding the various coefficients.
Now I have completed this work, wondered if you knew the best way to export the outputted coefficients by the internet version of sage to another package such as Excel? Or indeed, if this is even possible?
