How to Prove the Lagrange Inversion Theorem?

In summary, Lagrange inversion theorem is a mathematical theorem that provides a method for finding the coefficients of the inverse series of a given function. Its purpose is to find the inverse of a function, which can be useful in solving problems in areas such as physics, engineering, and economics. The theorem works by using the Taylor series expansion of a function and its inverse to derive a formula for finding the coefficients of the inverse series. Some applications of Lagrange inversion theorem include solving differential equations, computing integrals, and solving optimization problems. However, it does have limitations such as not being applicable to all functions and the inverse series may not always converge.

I encountered this beautiful theorem and then I tried hard to prove it using ordinary algebraic methods and my understanding of calculus without involving real analysis in it but I didn't succeed. The theorem states that if f is an analytical function at some point x=a then f-1 has the following Taylor series:

How can I prove this formula?
