In a program I am writing using MMA3.0, the function Max[] is used
extensively. Is there any way to tell MMA that
a>1;
s>0;
Such that
Max[s, s*a]
would return
a*s
Maple V has the function assume(). I know MMA does not have this, but
is there any way to create it. The Integrate[] function takes the
option Assumptions->{}. There must be a way to use this capability in
other parts of MMA (I think).
Any help is appreciated.
