One note about the example I used: >The solutions should be >Sqrt[Cos[Pi x]^2] Tan[Pi x] + 2 Floor[x + 1/2] The function Floor[x + 1/2] has no meaning for complex x! So I should say for real x. In[304]:= (Sqrt[Cos[Pi*x]^2]*Tan[Pi*x] + 2*Floor[x + 1/2] /. x -> #1 & ) /@ Range[10] Out[304]= {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20} See also here http://groups.google.gr/group/comp.soft-sys.math.mathematica/browse_thread/= thread/4910e88699673c27/b64afd02ba7186db?lnk=gst&q=Integrate&rnum=720= &hl=el#b64afd02ba7186db Regards Dimitris =CF/=C7 fizzy =DD=E3=F1=E1=F8=E5: > Perhaps I should have added this.....I have upgraded to 5.2 and I realize > that there are many additions that 4.2 doesnt have, etc.etc.etc.....that = was > hardly my point!!!!!.......part of what I was trying to say is that I sti= ll > use 4.2 just in case and have found it, at least for some of the things I= 've > worked on, to be quite helpful to me in a way that the upgrades were > not........naturally, 4.2 doesnt work on every ocassion but I have found > many instances where 4.2 will work although 5.2 wont or the answers are > completely different......also, in terms of using , for example, a > subscripted definition , such as > > E_subscript_x[x, y, z] , I have also found that 5.2 handles this quite > differently then 4.2 especially if you take the derivative of the > function.....(the subscript is gotten from the appropriate Palette).....in > fact, I can't use this definition in 5.2.... > > When I sent these comments, I thought that someone, at least at Wolfram, > would care and would want to investigate this......if something doesnt wo= rk > in a New Version but does in an Old Version, strikes me as a Bug in the n= ew > software assuming that the earlier Version's answer was, in fact, > correct....or, at least, it's food for thought... > > or I hope it is....Jerry > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "dimitris" <dimmechan at yahoo.com> > To: <mathgroup at smc.vnet.net> > Sent: Saturday, February 24, 2007 1:11 AM > Subject: Re: Fw: 2 > > > > Try also the following links > > > > http://documents.wolfram.com/mathematica/Built-inFunctions/NewInVersion= 5=2E0/ > > http://www.wolfram.com/products/mathematica/newin51/ > > http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=mathematica+version+5.2 > > > > May be this material will convince for upgrading! > > > > Regards > > Dimitris > > > > =CF/=C7 fizzy =DD=E3=F1=E1=F8=E5: > >> This is an interesting question for me for another reason.....my > >> 'favorit= > > e' > >> version of Mathematica is still 4.2....I have found many things that > >> work= > > in > >> 4.2 but do not work in 5.2....I have always been meaning to send them = to > >> mathgroup but, must admit, I'm too lazy for it.....however, this examp= le > >> here is perfect for the ocassion.... > >> > >> It works in 4.2......interesting also, that the Output in 5.2 for the > >> Series[ ] question, the answer seems different....I havent investigated > >> it > >> further, just want to point out the interesting differences..... > >> > >> Jerry Blimbaum > >> > >> ----- Original Message ----- > >> From: "Andrzej Kozlowski" <akoz at mimuw.edu.pl> > >> To: <mathgroup at smc.vnet.net> > >> Sent: Thursday, February 22, 2007 3:35 AM > >> Subject: > >> > >> > >> > Try: > >> > > >> > Series[ArcCosh[x], {x, 0, 11}] > >> > > >> > and now try > >> > > >> > ArcCosh[x] + O[x]^12 > >> > > >> > At least with my version of Mathematica: > >> > > >> > $Version > >> > 5.2 for Mac OS X (February 24, 2006) > >> > > >> > > >> > I do not get the same answer (in fact in the latter case the input is > >> > returned unevaluated).
