First, you have to use correct syntax: Equality is ==, not = Did you mean E^z when where you've written e^z? Functions are written with square brackets, TrueQ[expr], not TrueQ(expr) TrueQ is a structural (not Mathematica operation). It will only return True is the input is explicitly True. Use Simplify/FullSimplify with appropriate assumptions to check whether the equality is true. > __________________________________________ > > Options: > So, I think that the problem could be in: > - Lack of memory, because Mathematica stops evaluating > the notebook after the 16th definition, What do you mean when you say that Mathematica stops evaluating the notebook? This is very vague. Do you get an error message?
