Apologies for the display of some of the variables in the equation.
Reposting it.

Hello,
I have two functions say f1(β) and f2(β) as follows:

f1(β)=1/(aδ^2) + 1/(bδ) + O(1) ... (1)

and

f2(β)= c+dδ+O(δ^2) ... (2)

where δ = β-η and a,b,c,d and η are constants. Eq. (1) and (2) are
the
Taylor series expansions of f1(β) and f2(β) about η respectively. I
need to integrate f1(β) and f2(β) with respect to β (-1,1).
Integration is straight forward for all the terms except O(1) and
O(δ^2) in (1) and (2) respectively. How do I proceed here to
integrate
the O() terms? If anyone can guide me on this it will be extremely
helpful. Many thanks for the help.
Regards,
N.

I still cannot see the variables. Usenet is an ancient technology, so
it is best to stick to only ASCII for posting here. Oldtimers like me
know what "ASCII" means, youngsters may not.
