It seems that Maxima could not handle many simple cases of infinite sums.
For example,
sum (1/n, n, 0, inf), simpsum;
evaluates to inf, but
sum (1/(n+1), n, 0, inf), simpsum;
not evaluates, like many other simple things like
sum (1/(n+6) - 1/(n+8), n, 0, inf), simpsum;
Am I right and the problem is weak support of infinite sums?
Thank you.
