Series Representation
A Taylor series for Bring radicals, as well as a representation in terms of hypergeometric functions can be derived as follows. The equation can be rewritten as ; by setting, the desired solution is .
The series for can then be obtained by reversion of the Taylor series for (which is simply ), giving:
where the absolute values of the coefficients are sequence A002294 in the OEIS. The series confirms that is odd. This gives
The series converges for |z| < 1 and can be analytically continued in the complex plane. The above result can be written in hypergeometric form as:
Compare with the hypergeometric functions that arise in Glasser's derivation and the method of differential resolvents below.

Famous quotes containing the word series:
“The professional celebrity, male and female, is the crowning result of the star system of a society that makes a fetish of competition. In America, this system is carried to the point where a man who can knock a small white ball into a series of holes in the ground with more efficiency than anyone else thereby gains social access to the President of the United States.”
—C. Wright Mills (1916–1962)
