      <itunes:summary>&lt;pre&gt;Your last line means, you want to simplify subject to &lt;strong&gt;1/m^2 = 0&lt;/strong&gt;,&lt;br&gt;which probably is not what you want.&lt;/pre&gt;</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;I understand the error. I have corrected it by defining 1/m=epsilon. Now everything works fine, but instead of showing all the three equations after series substitution MAPLE is showing only Eq [3]. But it should show all equations together. Can you please check if I am logically incorrect somewhere?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;restart; N := 2&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;alias(eta = e, theta = t)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Eq[1] := 5*(diff(F(e), `$`(e, 3)))+(1+3/m)*F(e)*(diff(F(e), `$`(e, 2)))-(2+1/m)*(diff(F(e), e))^2-(4+2/m)*H(e)-(1-2/m)*e*(diff(H(e), e)) = 0&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Eq[2] := diff(H(e), e) = t(e)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Eq[3] := 5*(diff(t(e), `$`(e, 2)))/Pr+(1+3/m)*F(e)*(diff(t(e), e))-5*(diff(F(e), e))*t(e)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;pars := 1/m = epsilon&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;for i to 3 do eq[i] := subs(pars, Eq[i]) end do&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;eqs := eq[1], eq[2], eq[3]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;F1 := unapply(add(epsilon^i*F[i](e), i = 0 .. N), e)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;F2 := unapply(add(epsilon^i*H[i](e), i = 0 .. N), e)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;F3 := unapply(add(epsilon^i*t[i](e), i = 0 .. N), e)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;deqn := simplify(collect(subs({F(e) = F1(e), H(e) = F2(e), t(e) = F3(e)}, eqs), epsilon), {epsilon^(N+1) = 0})&lt;/p&gt;

      <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;1/m = epsilon does not matter, You still say 1/m = epsilon = 0.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>
