Homework Problem due on January 23

[20 points] In class we did two Taylor series expansions of energy, first in terms of beta, and then in terms of beta squared. Find the corresponding series expansions of momentum, and explain in complete sentences which terms remain and why, and which terms are zero, and why. Your explanation should be suitable for a bright freshman physics major.
