If we have a power series whwre each summand term is another power series, how can I represent the entire nested series as just one?

If you have a series a_0 + a_1*z + a_2*z^2 + a_3*z^3 + ... and if z gets
replaced by b_0 + b_1*z + b_2*z^2 + b_3*z^3 + ..., then what you get is
a power series c_0 + c_1*z + c_2*z^2 + c_3*z^3 + ..., where c_p is equal
to the sum of all numbers a_m*b_{n_1}*b_{n_2}*...*b_{n_m} such that
n_1 + n_2 + ... + n_m = p.

I hope that this helps.

Best regards,
