You can find out yourself: as soon as the error occurs, switch to program mode an see at which line you are. Since the stack is filled with x, press R↓ to check x. I suspect that the error is caused by the 1/x instruction, and this may happen if x is so close to 1 that 1–x is evaluated to zero, which leads to an attempt to divide by zero. But this is just a guess. ;-) This usually does not happen as the interval should not be evaluated at its limits. But if Δx eventually becomes extremely small this may well be possible. Dieter |
