[R] Ryacas and fractions with simultaenously very large numerators and denominators

[Paul Smith]

Dear All

I am doing the following:

> x <- yacas("3/2")
> for (i in 2:400)
+    x <- yacas(paste(x,"*",x))
> x
expression(Inf^1.260864167e+117/Inf^6.304320836e+116)
> Eval(x)
[1] NaN

No luck this way. However, I am successful with

> y <- yacas("(3/2)^400")
> y
expression(7.05507910865533e+190/2.58224987808691e+120)
> Eval(y)
[1] 2.732144e+70

If Ryacas/Yacas cannot multiply fractions with simultaenously very
large numerators and denominators, what else should I use?

Thanks in advnace,

Paul
