Hi Folks:
I have only recently begun using Mathematica.
Assumptions->{} command to specify some properties of parameters. The
examplkes I have seen apply the specification within a particular
function.
I have two question:
1. Is there a way to specify that a particular parameter is a positive
integer ( not just >0)?
2. Is it possible to globally define a parameter to be >0 and a positive
integer at the outset of a series of computations/manipulations?
Any help would be appreciated.
