This article is also discussed in another thread .. Trio . . Depending on what you are doing with the results of any computation, it may be prudent to verify the results. I don't know that CAS are especially more prone to bugs, but it may be that CAS are more likely to come up with results that can be disproved, thereby revealing a bug. Or what is sometimes referred to as a "feature".
For example, if a weather-prediction program had a bug in it that caused it to predict incorrectly 5% of the time, it might take a while to even notice. <flame> Fortunately, the result of many computations with CAS are of no consequence whatsoever. </flame> On Thursday, October 23, 2014 6:23:42 PM UTC-7, kcrisman wrote: > > Feature article in the Notices: > http://www.ams.org/notices/201410/rnoti-p1249.pdf > The point, as the authors say, is not about any one system; as we know, > any nontrivial software (including good ol' Sage) has plenty of bugs. > Happy reading! > - kcrisman > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
