Dear colleagues,

I've just discovered this wonderful thing called Sage (I am a completely 
newbie, my apologizes in advance...), and I have to admit that I am 
impressed with Sage!!!. I started yesterday, and came along the tutorial 
already. I still miss some more documentation...specially related with 
worksheet use/configuration (I did not find any other way to combine 
LaTeX, html and sage to create nice worksheets like the ones I saw 
today. I simply start a cell with %htmlo %latex or %sage).

Anyway, I was playing around with the limits, and after checking the 
short tutorial 
(http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/elliottd/calctut/limits.html) I 
wanted to try something by myself. I found the following inconvenience.


sage: g=9.81
sage: t=var('t')
sage: limit(2*g*(t^2-1)/(t-1),t=1)
 >>> gives me 39

However, if I simplify the equation and calculate the limit...
sage: limit(2*g*(t+1),t=1)
 >> gives me the good value 39.276

Did I do something wrong?

Thank you very much in advance!
