In this note, we explain how the algorithms in [111, [5] and [61 immediately give formulas which can be used for the efficient symbolic computation of series expansions to solutions of nonlinear systems of ordinary differential equations. As a by product of this analysis, we derive formulas relating trees to the coefficients of the series expansions, similar to the work by Leroux and Viennot [1...
