# truncated exponential series over ring of matrices over symbolic ring

I want to do the following:

R.<z>=PowerSeriesRing(SR)
i,n,z=var('i,n,z')
f,g=function('f,g')
F=sum(f(i)*z^i,i,1,n)
G=sum(g(i)*z^i,i,1,n)
gamma=matrix([[0,F],[G,0]])


I then want to define a function as the first several terms of the exponential series exp(gamma). Something like

Gamma=sum(gamma^i/factorial(i),i,0,n)


This will return an error like: 'too many values to unpack'

I only want to work with this function formally until I need to specify a value of n and eventually solve for the value f(i), g(i) in terms of some other parameters (yet to be defined in this code). What are some ways to clean this up so I can work with the truncated power series with matrix coefficients?

A possibly simpler but related question is how does one build a function that will sum several powers of a matrix?

I am not sure about your request, is the following sufficient for you ?

sage: Gamma = lambda n: sum(gamma^i/factorial(i) for i in range(n))
sage: Gamma(2)
[                     1 sum(z^i*f(i), i, 1, n)]
[sum(z^i*g(i), i, 1, n)                      1]

sage: Gamma(3)
[1/2*sum(z^i*f(i), i, 1, n)*sum(z^i*g(i), i, 1, n) + 1                                sum(z^i*f(i), i, 1, n)]
[                               sum(z^i*g(i), i, 1, n) 1/2*sum(z^i*f(i), i, 1, n)*sum(z^i*g(i), i, 1, n) + 1]
