Hi there:
What is the difference between the commands ev, subst, and at? If I need to substitute a numerical value for a free variable in a simple formula, can they be used interchangeably? This appears to be the case in the examples below, but I want to make sure I am not missing something subtle.
(%i14) ev(x^2 + 7*y, x=6);
(%o14) 7y+36
(%i15) subst(x=6, x^2 + 7*y);
(%o15) 7y+36
(%i16) at(x^2 + 7*y, x=6);
(%o16) 7y+36
Thanks for your help!
Jorge
