New description:
I test
{{{
sage: var ('n,k')
sage: sum (binomial(n,k)*k^2, k, 0, n) # is right
sage: sum (binomial(n,k)*k^2, k, 1, n) # is right n(n+1)2^(n-2)
sage: sum (binomial(n,k)*k^2, k, 2, n) # is false : I get 0
}}}
This works correctly on Maxima 5.26 - we need to upgrade!
The new spkg is
[http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/dima/packages/maxima-5.26.0.spkg
here].
Needs makeinfo to be installed at the moment (which should probably be
disabled).
