Yes, that is why I hesitated long between MuPAD an Axiom.

Yup. :-( | Apart from all that, if our goal was to make Axiom pass more tests of Wester's | suite, we need Gruntz algorithm for limits and an implementation of Zeilberger | for summation, as far as I recall.

While I don't believe The Goal of Axiom is pass that testsuite, I believe that Axiom should pass that testsuite. -- Gaby _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list Axiom-developer@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
