RE: HP Prime lockup (not a complaint)
"I asked the machines to find the derivative of sqrt(3x+sqrt(3x+sqrt(3x))) and the two calculators both spit out answers within a second. Impressive. Since the two displayed different results and the Prime wasn't set to simplify, I used the simplify softbutton. It locked up, stayed frozen for about 4 minutes and then rebooted."

Try expand(), followed by collect(). Do you like that expression?

But I agree, simplify() shouldn't lock-up - - if it can't handle the expression, it should exit with an error message, like "too complicated." Smile
