If you care about errors then you should be evaluating the symbolic expressions with interval arithmetic. Your proposal is just to do interval arithmetic and then take the upper/lower bound as desired. That would be correct, but there should also be a way to evaluate symbolic expressions *quickly* without doing interval arithmetic. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
