Why does Mathematica get the infinite sum of this representation of the taylor series of $\cos^2(x)$ wrong?
Expanding on the comment by @Goofy and after reading the docs we see that:

Vs 6 gets the correct result, but Wolfram $\alpha$ decides, too, that
$$\sum_{m,n=0}^\infty \frac{ (-1)^{n+m} x^{2m+2n} }{(2n)!(2m)!} \quad \ne \quad \sum_{m=0}^\infty\left(\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{ ...

Or
s[h_, n_ : 4] := Normal[f[t] + O[t, x]^(n + 1)] /. t -> x + h
s[h] + s[-h]

Find Generalized Series with Symbolic Variable
I'm assuming you want the "formula" for what CoefficientList[Series[f[x], {x, a, n}], x] gives. If you want the term associated with $x^j$, that is the ...
