I added sin-m*pi/n to the end of Snd's numerics.scm -- it returns (as an expression suitable for eval) the exact value of (sin (* m (/ pi n))) where n is made up of any number of factors of 2, 3, 5, 7, 13, 17, and 257, but there's one more possible case: 11. I can't find an expansion for it on the web, and my math type friends seem to be off carousing somewhere. And I skipped the class where they explained how to solve a quintic. So, does any cmdisterian have access to Mathematica? I need something like
FunctionExpand[Sin[Pi/11]] or possibly TrigExpand -- if that doesn't work, I can dig around and find the right command. Thanks!! _______________________________________________ Cmdist mailing list [email protected] http://ccrma-mail.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/cmdist
