Hi
I was wondering if somebody could explain to me why when I use Basic input
palette I am getting the following error:
MakeExpression::boxfmt: TextForm in MakeExpression[FractionBox[1, +,
RowBox[{Cos, [, x, ]}]}]], TextForm] is not a box formatting type. A
box formatting type is any member of $BoxForms.
This error was generated when I wanted to type in
A[x_]:=1/(1+Cos[x])
with the fraction symbol from the Basic Input Palette
I am using Mathematica 5.1 on Gentoo Linux Box
