Comment #3 on issue 3638 by asmeu...@gmail.com: Automatic series expansion while applying a function?
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=3638

Sympy already has some kind of it (present eval() methods for functions). The question is up to which degree we should keep unevaluated expressions.

I know that SymPy evaluates at numbers. That's a little different. Do any functions currently automatically evaluate at series?

Hmm, why in this case?

Maybe I'm mistaken, but doesn't it require computing a power series in the general case? For example, what about log(sin(x) + O(x**2)) (which doesn't seem to work actually). To be correct, you would first have to compute the power series of sin(x), remove terms lower than x**2, then evaluate it at log.

What's so bad about calling series() again if you want a power series. Actually, it's probably more efficient to hold off on calling series until the end if you are going to apply several functions, so doesn't this often represent a poor workflow anyway?
