Please clarify. I don't understand what the issue is. The 2.5 release got moved forward, because just integrating in the calculus package took me all weekend, and I haven't finished yet. It's quite hard.

I don't think the code should have had a NAN in there in the first place; it doesn't make sense to hack around what GSL's special functions already do, especially only in *one* case, i.e., cos, and leave everything else as the default. The NAN should not have been there in the first place. -- William Stein Associate Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://www.williamstein.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ and http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
