Methods for approximating the solution of the Thomas-Fermi equation are discussed, where particular emphasis is put on the approximation of the slope at zero. For this purpose, a modification of Adomian's method for expanding the solution into a polynomial series is proposed. To handle the boundary condition at infinity, a combination with Padé approximation is used. Finally, the slope at zero is obtained by solving a polynomial equation.
