Is there a way to do this automatically?I think Maxima can do recurrences. http://maxima.sourceforge.net/docs/manual/en/maxima_76.html But this hasn't been added to Sage yet, in the sense of wrapping the functionality nicely. http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/1291 -- To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
