Thanks for that explanation, gsw. I feel like I have a better sense of why that happened so often in class! - kcrisman On Jun 25, 4:10 pm, gsw wrote: > Hi, > > I suspect you're just running out of RAM. > Not necessarily physically, but the construction Sage --> expect > interface --> Maxima --

Hi, I suspect you're just running out of RAM. Not necessarily physically, but the construction Sage --> expect interface --> Maxima --> Lisp implementation is a fragile one. If the Lisp implementation "thinks" it runs out of space, this is not handled too gracefully by Maxima, and as a consequenc

Perhaps your computation required more space than was available in the Lisp system that was running your version of Maxima. You might, for example, run out of "string" space on some Lisp systems, without totally using up all storage. Since you do not give enough information to reproduce your prob
