I am trying to make Axiom evaluate sum(1/k^2, k=1..n). It returns the sum
unevaluated. I suspect that I should be using the sum functions defined
in package SUMRF, RationalFunctionSum, but how do I make Axiom use those
functions? For example, I tried
(1) -> sum(1/k^2, k=1..n)$SUMRF
Although RationalFunctionSum is the name of a constructor, a full
type must be specified in the context you have used it. Issue
)show RationalFunctionSum for more information.
(1) ->
I don't understand what I have to do here. My understanding of Axiom's types,
domains, and packages is limited, but shouldn't sum(...) be smart enough by
itself
to invoke the right "sum"?
