Thank you for your work Barton !
limit bug as x tend to inf for trigonometric expressions
here is another example where maxima (and sagemath) fails to simplify a summation . Wolframalpha.com also fails to find the pi/16 value but gives different closed forms and a numerical value compatible with pi/16. Here is a minimal example showing the problem : 'S=S:sum(sin(n%pi/3)^3cos(n%pi/3)/n,n,1,inf); 'S=S:ratsimp(simplify_sum(S2)); / false!/ S_exact:%pi/16; S_num:float(sum(sin(n%pi/3)^3cos(n%pi/3)/n,n,1,10000)); S_exact=float(S_exact); you can check that the value given by simplify_sum is far...
bug in simplify_sum
texput broken
hi, when exporting session from wxmaxima to .mac files (maxima standard format) some errors occur : "-" (utf8 code \x2D) is replaced by "−" (utf8 code \xE2\x88\x92 ) commented lines (between "/ /") are ended by semi-column ";" (forbiden in .mac files)
