Description (last modified by )
Both Laurent and power series ring elements have a default precision of 20. OTOH, symbolic series expansions need the precision set:
sage: R.<t> = LaurentSeriesRing(QQ) sage: 1/(1-t) 1 + t + t^2 + t^3 + t^4 + t^5 + t^6 + t^7 + t^8 + t^9 + t^10 + t^11 + t^12 + t^13 + t^14 + t^15 + t^16 + t^17 + t^18 + t^19 + O(t^20) sage: var('x') x sage: ex=1/(1-x) sage: ex.series(x) ... TypeError: series() takes exactly 2 positional arguments (1 given)
This ticket proposes to unify the behaviour by allowing the following:
sage: ex.series(x) 1 + 1*x + 1*x^2 + 1*x^3 + 1*x^4 + 1*x^5 + 1*x^6 + 1*x^7 + 1*x^8 + 1*x^9 + 1*x^10 + 1*x^11 + 1*x^12 + 1*x^13 + 1*x^14 + 1*x^15 + 1*x^16 + 1*x^17 + 1*x^18 + 1*x^19 + Order(x^20)
As this is about reducing surprise for the user both algebra and symbolic series default precision should have the same value, so the ticket should also implement such a global value.
This ticket also deprecates the use of LaurentSeriesRing_generic.set_default_prec
as it contradicts the immutability of parents and conflicts with the caching of LaurentSeriesRings?.

I do not think that order=-1
is a good default value, as it changes previous behaviour:
Prior to this patch:
sage: f = sin(x)^(-2) ....: f.series(x, -1) 1*x^(-2) + Order(1/x)
After this patch:
sage: f = sin(x)^(-2) ....: f.series(x, -1) 1*x^(-2) + 1/3 + 1/15*x^2 + 2/189*x^4 + 1/675*x^6 + 2/10395*x^8 + 1382/58046625*x^10 + 4/1403325*x^12 + 3617/10854718875*x^14 + 87734/2292899734125*x^16 + 349222/80596287646875*x^18 + Order(x^20)
Furthermore, I'd like to see doctests testing the new behaviour.
Finally, sage.misc.defaults
could be added to the reference manual such that the documentation of all three modified methods (symbolic, power, Laurent) could link to that place for setting the default precision.

Done. Unfortunately this is Cython so I had to pick a value that signals default, changed to -65535 now.
Please add your realname to Reviewers.

I think that replacing int order=-65535
by order=None
would lead to clearer code at a negligible performance penalty.
Further comments:
- The docstrings of
series_precision
andset_series_precision
should haveEXAMPLE
sections. - The parameter
default_prec
of the Laurent series classes should be explained; the only explanation now is indef default_prec(self)
which should be rephrased anyway ("Set ..." is not correct). - I'd like to see doctests showing examples on how to construct series with different values for
set_series_precision
:meth:`set_series_precision`
is a dead link.

The default for order is now None
. The misc
functions now have examples. The description of def default_prec(self)
was corrected. I think the LaurentSeriesRing
method set_default_prec
should be deprecated as is already hinted. Done.
The general improvement of Laurent series documentation is ticket #12259.
I don't think doctests showing examples on how to construct series with different values for set_series_precision
should be added. I don't want to encourage frequent usage of the global setting to set single series precisions.
If the link is dead you should do make doc-clean; make doc
. It will not suffice to sage -docbuild
since a file was added.

For now, just three comments, I'll have a closer look later.
File "src/sage/symbolic/expression.pyx", line 3542, in sage.symbolic.expression.Expression.series Failed example: f.series(x) Exception raised: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/local/sage/sage-6.5.beta4/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sage/doctest/forker.py", line 488, in _run self.compile_and_execute(example, compiler, test.globs) File "/local/sage/sage-6.5.beta4/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sage/doctest/forker.py", line 850, in compile_and_execute exec(compiled, globs) File "<doctest sage.symbolic.expression.Expression.series[9]>", line 1, in <module> f.series(x) File "sage/symbolic/expression.pyx", line 3584, in sage.symbolic.expression.Expression.series (build/cythonized/sage/symbolic/expression.cpp:20710) x = self._gobj.series(symbol0._gobj, order, 0) TypeError: an integer is required
The reason is that prec
is set but never used.

I concur that we should not encourage the actual frequent usage of the global settings. However, I'd prefer it to be at least be covered by a test in a "TESTS" section, just to be sure to avoid small errors as the issue outlined above.
If the link is dead you should do
make doc-clean; make doc
. It will not suffice tosage -docbuild
since a file was added.
I think that the problem is rather the meth
instead of func
.

The deprecation of set_series_precision
leads to four failing doctests elsewhere:
