This certainly looks like a nasty bug. There is no need for ListPlot to see this, just look at this: In[1]:= Needs["Calculus`Limit`"] In[2]:= Limit[Apart[(3^n+5^n)/(3^n-5^n)],n->Infinity] Out[2]= -1 On Tue, Jan 12, 1999, <trif at ipm.marine.su> wrote: >Hi, Mathematica people. >Look at this: > >In[1]:=Limit[(3^n+5^n)/(3^n-5^n),n->Infinity] >Out[1]:=Limit[(3^n+5^n)/(3^n-5^n),n->Infinity] > >In[2]:=Needs["Calculus`Limit`"] > >In[3]:=Limit[(3^n+5^n)/(3^n-5^n),n->Infinity] Out[3]:=-3 > >??? > >In[4]:=ListPlot[ Table[(3^n+5^n)/(3^n-5^n),{n,100}] ] > >Version: Mathematica 3.0 OS: Windows95 > >----------- >Evgeny > >-----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- >http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own > Andrzej Kozlowski Toyama International University JAPAN http://sigma.tuins.ac.jp/ http://eri2.tuins.ac.jp/
