Inconsistency
Hi all
With the current firmware (2015 6 17 (8151)) I get the following results in CAS-mode: 0/0 = undef 1/0 = +- \infty sin(0.5)/0 = +Inf as well as 1/\infty = 0 In each of the first three cases I get a different output. In addition, the second and third result is simply wrong. If I wanted a limit I'd write a limit. My students don't know yet about limits, all they know is that division by 0 is not defined. So it will be hard to explain to them what this output is suposed to mean. I also dislike the fourth result a lot. Infty is surely not a number I can just use for division. I think the calculator should be much more strict here especially for the students. However, one could argue differently here. Bests. |
