Abstract: For smooth manifolds $M$ and $N$, let $Ebar(M,N)$ be the homotopy fiber of the map $Emb(M,N)longrightarrowImm(M,N)$. Consider the functor from the category of Euclidean spaces to the category of spectra, defined by the formula $VmapstoSigm{a}^{i}nftyEbar(M,NimesV)$. In this paper, we describe the Taylor polynomials of this functor, in the sense of M. Weiss' orthogonal calculus, in the case when $N$ is a nice open submanifold of a Euclidean space. This leads to a description of the derivatives of this functor when $N$ is a tame stably parallelizable manifold (we believe that the parallelizability assumption is not essential). Our construction involves a certain space of rooted forests (or, equivalently, a space of partitions) with leaves marked by points in $M$, and a certain ``homotopy bundle of spectra over this space of trees. The $n$-th derivative is then described as the ``spectrum of restricted sections of this bundle. This is the first in a series of two papers. In the second part, we will give an analogous description of the derivatives of the functor $Ebar(M,NimesV)$, involving a similar construction with certain spaces of connected graphs (instead of forests) with points marked in $M$.
