Dear SAGE developers, On the other hand, we do get a correct result this way:
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ SageMath Version 7.1, Release Date: 2016-03-20 │ │ Type "notebook()" for the browser-based notebook interface. │ │ Type "help()" for help. │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ sage: import sympy sage: sympy.limit((x^(1/x)-1)*sqrt(x), x, infinity) 0 sage: sympy.limit(((1/x)^x-1)/sqrt(x), x, 0, '+') 0 (If nothing else, users can be appropriately skeptical if Maxima and SymPy are giving different answers.)
