This is A-Mathematica-Limit-error in view mode; [Up]
Date: Sun 08-Jun-1990 19:18:33 From: Unknown Subject: A Mathematica Limit error I recently (couple of weeks ago) installed the bug fix for the NeXT version of Mathematica but I see they still did not get the limit problems fixed. For example when you try Limit[Cos[1/x^2]^(x^4),x->Infinity] from a terminal window or remote login you get Bus error for an answer. Try it from the front end with the NeXT kernel and the machine just grinds away forever (seemingly). The correct answer is Exp(-1/2). Anyone know what the problem is here? We are planning to turn some students loose in a NeXT lab this fall doing calculus. We need the machine to give the right answers to such elementary questions. >From: aob@lanl.gov (Alexander O.
