I'm seeing this behavior in sage 6.4, just built from git: $ ./sage ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Sage Version 6.4, Release Date: 2014-11-14 │ │ Type "notebook()" for the browser-based notebook interface. │ │ Type "help()" for help. │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ sage: e = SR('a*f(x)+g(x)') sage: e a*f(x) + g(x) sage: e.limit(x=0) limit(a*f(x) + g(x), x, 0) sage: e.limit(x=0).limit(a=0) limit(g(x), x, 0) sage: de = diff(e,SR('x')) sage: de a*D[0](f)(x) + D[0](g)(x) sage: de.limit(x=0) limit(a*D[0](f)(x) + D[0](g)(x), x, 0) sage: de.limit(x=0).limit(a=0) D[0](g)(x)
The last result should be limit(D[0](g)(x), x, 0). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
