I know about plot?. But you misread my post. I was not trying to type Maple commands into Sage. I was wondering why there should be such a blatant difference between plotting x-x^2 and plotting the zeta function on an interval on the real axis. My point was that Maple shows this is not

In principle, it's possible to insert a try except clause into the plot command, so that it would try: plot(x^2,2,10) except: plot(lambda x:real(zeta(x)),2,10) There might be more efficient solutions though. On Sat, Nov 1, 2008 at 9:21 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I
