Re: Generating Functions
Assuming you mean "What did you do to solve it?",I did nothing.I will try something though.I have Maxima now.
The limit operator is just an excuse for doing something you know you can't.

Re: Generating Functions
Let me know when you get an answer.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.

What do you get for 2 dice?
And what for 5 of them?

Sorry for deleting the post 
I realized why my code is wrong.
What are you getting for 5? I get 295/432.

Re: Generating Functions
Unfortunately,my code runs n*sqrt(n) complexity,and in Maxima it would seem that thar is a lot. The poor system cannot handle such complexities.

Re: Generating Functions
So the lab needs this to launch that rocket. Are you going to say, in some axiomatic systems it is .5 and in some other axiomatic systems it is 0.8688109167166945582799121192248256736356853859332611538240134956811165240517393603026999224948087276?
Or are you going to say I can not do it because my computer is too slow?
