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:
“Through a series of gradual power losses, the modern parent is in danger of losing sight of her own child, as well as her own vision and style. It’s a very big price to pay emotionally. Too bad it’s often accompanied by an equally huge price financially.”
—Sonia Taitz (20th century)
