\[-2 \cdot \left(\left(\varepsilon + \frac{{\varepsilon}^{3}}{3}\right) + \frac{{\varepsilon}^{5}}{5}\right)\]

Derivation

  1. Initial program 58.5

    \[\log \left(\frac{1 - \varepsilon}{1 + \varepsilon}\right)\]

  2. Taylor expanded around 0 0.2

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{-\left(0.4 \cdot {\varepsilon}^{5} + \left(2 \cdot \varepsilon + 0.6666666666666666 \cdot {\varepsilon}^{3}\right)\right)}\]

  3. Simplified0.2

    \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\varepsilon \cdot -2 + \left({\varepsilon}^{5} \cdot -0.4 + {\varepsilon}^{3} \cdot -0.6666666666666666\right)}\]

  4. Final simplification0.2

    \[\leadsto \varepsilon \cdot -2 + \left({\varepsilon}^{5} \cdot -0.4 + {\varepsilon}^{3} \cdot -0.6666666666666666\right)\]
