Hello, I find the following expression is problematic for expand
in the sense that it takes a tremendously long time and a very
great amount of memory. What makes it so difficult?
Is there a way to expand it from the leaves upward?
I tried to figure out a way to apply a function from the
bottom up, but I couldn't figure it out.
Incidentally this expression originates from trying to construct
a cubic spline (the cspline function in package interpol) from
some points like [%pi/2, %pi].
Thanks for any insights,
Robert Dodier
