tan(pi/2) unevaluated?



 A "good enough" computer algebra system should be able to handle 
computations with IND INF UND  (etc) at least as well as a 
fully-implemented IEEE float system, and probably a good
deal more effectively. 

There have been a number of proposals to do so, including tracking the 
sources of infinity, so that
INF-INF  is 0  IF THEY ARE THE SAME INF.
but INF-INF is UND  otherwise..

as for tan(pi/2), consider  3+1/tan(pi/2).
Can you agree on a value for that?
