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
If you create an actual power series element, you can easily write the
coefficients to a file:
sage: f = taylor(sin(x), x, 0, 10); f
1/362880*x^9 - 1/5040*x^7 + 1/120*x^5 - 1/6*x^3 + x
sage: power_series = RR[['x']](f); power_series
0.000 + 1.00*x + 0.000*x^2 -

Hi all,
I am attempting to obtain coefficients of a generating function to
obtain probabilites, but in order to obtain the coefficients, I first
need to expand a power series, which is necessary for my paricular
function.

Hi,
Thanks for such quick responses!
