I also notice that pi is defined as an operator, so that pi() returns the result %pi. I wonder how hard it would be to include useful constants in Axiom, and to be able to enter (for example)
solve(integrate(1/x,x=1..t)=1,t) and obtain the answer %e. Alasdair On 25 May 2007 06:42:37 +0200, Martin Rubey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
