Taylor Polynomials

The Maple command to find the Taylor expansion of a function is mtaylor. To find the Taylor expansion of around of order 6, use

readlib(mtaylor):                        load definition of mtaylor
mtaylor( sin(x + ln(y)), [x=0,y=1] );    use 7 to get expansion up to order 6
Remark: In Maple, factorial of 5 is entered as 5! which returns 120.
