Re: sum and maxima (sorry)



It's weidier than you think.  It works on some runs but not others!

A run where it works:

(C1) ev(sum(binomial(n,k),k,1,n),simpsum);
                                     n
(D1)                                2  - 1
(C2) 

A run where it doesn't:

(C1) ev(sum(k*binomial(n,k),k,1,n),simpsum);
                             n
                            ====
                            \
(D1)                         >   k BINOMIAL(n, k)
                            /
                            ====
                            k = 1
