+    :math:`1/a` - perhaps not what one would have first thought.
+
+    Also note that, in general, the result of integrating a C-series needs
+    to be "reprojected" onto the C-series basis set.  Thus, typically,

+
+    If some of the singular values of `V` are so small that they are
+    neglected, then a `RankWarning` will be issued. This means that the
+    coefficient values may be poorly determined. Using a lower order fit
+    will usually get rid of the warning.  The `rcond` parameter can also be
+    set to a value smaller than its default, but the resulting fit may be
+    spurious and have large contributions from roundoff error.
+
+    Fits using Legendre series are usually better conditioned than fits
+    using power series, but much can depend on the distribution of the
+    sample points and the smoothness of the data. If the quality of the fit
+    is inadequate splines may be a good alternative.
