What were you trying to do?
I asked Maple to do the following sum:
sum(1/n^n,n=1..infinity);
What's wrong:
It replied as follows:
Zeta(n)
This doesn't even make sense, since n is just a dummy variable.
What should have happened:
I expected that Maple would work on the sum for a bit and then return
something like this, because it could not find a closed form:
infinity
-----
\ 1
) ----
/ n
----- n
n = 1
