Re: [Maxima-discuss] Is there a way to expand ((1 + y )^ (1/n)) for y and n > 0?

[Susmita/Rajib <bkp...@gm...>]

Regarding my last post, n=1/4, 1/5, ..., etc., the expression /
equation , i.e., any form, yield proper results.
But as soon as n=1/3.5 or 1/4.3, and so on, doesn't compute.

But not for n=2,3,4,... For n=2,3,4,...., the equation retains the
same form and doesn't compute.

It is just the same for powerseries function as well. I read it from
the manual. Thanks, Mr. Willis.

Is this a bug? Because of intrinsic decimalisation of the term (1/n)
for any integral n during final evaluation?
