Hi there,
I am a starter with a perhaps quite simple question. I want to take
derivative of a sum of series, say, f:sum(c[i]*K[i],i,1,n). When I
typed diff(f,c[i]), I got sum(K[i],i,1,n).
I also tried diff(f,c[1]), but got zero as the answer (please see
below). Is there any way to get the right answer in maxima?
Many thanks for your help! x.w.
(%i1) f:sum(a[i]*K[i],i,1,n);
n
====
\
(%o1) > a K
/ i i
====
i = 1
(%i2) diff(f,a[i]);
n
====
\
(%o2) > K
/ i
====
i = 1
(%i3) diff(f,a[1]);
(%o3)
0
