The finite-lattice method of series expansion has been used to extend low-temperature series for the partition function, order parameter and susceptibility of the q-state Potts model to order z 56 (i.e. u 28 ), z 47 , z 43 , z 39 , z 39 , z 39 , z 35 , z 31 and z 31 for q=2, 3, 4, ..., 9 and 10 respectively. These series are used to test techniques designed to distinguish first-order transitions from continuous transitions. New numerical values are also obtained for the q-state Potts model with q>4.
