`Polynomial.``truncate`(size)

  Truncate series to length size.

  Reduce the series to length size by discarding the high degree terms. The value of size must be a positive integer. This can be useful in least squares where the coefficients of the high degree terms may be very small.

  Parameters: | size : positive int The series is reduced to length size by discarding the high degree terms. The value of size must be a positive integer.
  Returns: | new_series : series New instance of series with truncated coefficients.
