Dear all,

I have encounter a Maple response but I don't know how to interpret it.

When I tried the following Maple codes:

A := solve( x^4 + x^3 + x^2 + x + 1  = n, x ):

asympt( A, n, 2 )

Maple responded with a mysterious "pt".  What is going on?  Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks in advance.
