sage: maxima_calculus.sum(j,j,1,p) _SAGE_VAR_j*_SAGE_VAR_p Note that the call procedure here is the one employed for expect interfaces, so it amounts to something like the maxima script: sage1 : j sage2 : j sage3 : 1 sage4 : p sum(sage1,sage2,sage3,sage4) which indeed results in "j*p" It looks like sum and product simplify before they evaluate their variables. This is a bug in maxima, not in the sage interface, I would say. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
