symbolic multivariable Taylor series first order approximation

Hi,

Is there any way to find symbolic multivariable Taylor series first order approximation of a 1st order ODE using MATLAB ??

Thanks in advance

You can use mupad for this. Suppose your ODE is dot(.)=f(x,y....) and you want to expand along(x0,yo,....) and n is the order upto which you want to truncate, then the command in mupad is

mtaylor(f, [x = x0, y = y0, ...],n)
