Hello!
Playing with JacobiAmplitude after reading [mg23882],
I have found something strange with the numerical evaluation
of JacobiAmplitude:
JacobiAmplitude[0, 10^(-17)] gives 0,
JacobiAmplitude[1.*10^(-100), 10^(-17)]
gives 1.*^-100, while
JacobiAmplitude[0., 10^(-17)]
gives a string of error messages and a funny output.
My version is "4.0 for Power Macintosh (May 9, 1999)"
Bye,
Gianluca Gorni
