sorry. I used :
x[1]:1;x[2]:2;x[3]:.5; expand(''mm);
the result of which was
matrix([a polynomial in the parameters sigma, rho, beta])
It's correct that it's a polynomial, but weird that it's a one by one
matrix
then picking values for the parameters
sigma:5;rho:25;beta:3; expand(''mm);
gives a pure number inside [ ], and it's not a matrix
Thank you!
