It seems the characters were fouled up (at least when I read my own posting), so here it is again, and hopefully the characters are being converted correctly this time. I am trying to evaluate the limit of the following expression as s goes to infinity, \!\(\((1 + \[Sum]\+\(k = 0\)\%\(s - 1\)\((\((s\ \ \[Rho])\)\^k\/\(k!\))\)/\((\((s\ \[Rho])\)\^s\/\(\(s!\) \((1 - \ \[Rho])\)\))\))\)\^\(-1\)\) where, \[Rho]\ (Real) < 1, s (Integer) > 0. I am quite sure that the limit is 0; but, I am unable to get this result using Mathematica 5.2. Any suggestions would be appreciated. --V. Stokes
