When I attempt to evaluate the expresssion Limit[ x - Log[1 + E^x], x -> Infinity] I simply get back the original expression. It seems to me that this should evaluate to zero. For that matter, when I evaluate the expression Log[E^x] I also get back the original expression, instead of x. I would appreciate any thoughts concerning these results. I am running Mathematica 3.0.1 under Windows 95. Robert Lawrence
