Maxima indeterminate limit result is not converted to Sage #13269

Open kcrisman opened 12 years ago

kcrisman commented 12 years ago

User 'Mathemage' reports at this ask.sagemath.org question that

sage: bool( lim(sin(x), x=oo) == ind)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NameError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)

NameError: name 'ind' is not defined

and indeed although Maxima outputs this for similar limits, we do not have a conversion.

What the heck would we do with it, anyway? Does any other Sage subsystem have such an element? Does Maxima even have it, or just print it? Anyway, worth exploring.
