If it        is huge, skip the grading function, and give the result a D (or a B or C if       you prefer).       >       > Albert       >              Thanks. I allready made this change now. Check if leaf size       is "too large" before grading, but give it grade "B", since       that is what I did for Mathematica allready. This was arbitrary       choice.              The integral in example I just showed had anti-derivative of leaf size:               17,767,395 !!              But this only affects few integrals any way (may be 10-30 out       of 15,000). Depending on the version.              So it has almost no effect on the overall result stats allready posted.              I am re-running all Maple tests now, and so far, no hangs after this       change.              --Nasser       ps. we do not have grade "D". Only A,B,C and F. Those integrals in       the hanged list all had "F" grade but now they will change to be "B".              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
