I've added the Mma programs. They are not exactly the same as your 
version, because usually we expect that the programs produce the first 
terms of the sequence, so a couple of additional instructions are needed 
to clean up the series.

For what concerns Wolfram Alpha vs. Mma, there are surely some 
differences. Imho the problem is that WA tries to "understand"
what the user asks, so it could accept also ill-formed instructions.
This could lead to ambiguities in the results.
