Greetings,
I'm trying to use Maxima to get:
x 1
limit (----- - ------)
x -> 1+ x - 1 log(x)
When I work this out by hand I get 1/2. This is confirmed by Stewart's
calculus, my TI-89 and Maple.
Maxima is giving me:
Maxima 5.11.0 http://maxima.sourceforge.net
Using Lisp GNU Common Lisp (GCL) GCL 2.6.8 (aka GCL)
Distributed under the GNU Public License. See the file COPYING.
Dedicated to the memory of William Schelter.
This is a development version of Maxima. The function bug_report()
provides bug reporting information.
(%i1) limit(x/(x-1)-1/log(x),x,1,plus);
1
(%o1) limit (x - ---------- + 1)
x -> inf 1
log(- + 1)
x
(%i2)
Am I doing something wrong here?
