Thanks for the suggestion. That works for second derivative, too, where when I click on the result W|A shows a page with gamma ^2 + ?^2/6. This page doesn't understand gamma as a constant, but does provide a link to interpret it as such. When I click on that W|A finally shows the numerical value.
However, for third derivatives the answer involves a polygamma function. When I click on that result, W|A displays a page with no option to interpret it in any more detail. Fortunately, one of the Alternate Forms when clicked on shows the numerical value.
That's such a long process just to see what W|A teases us with on the first page by showing the numerical value for a second and then erasing!
Again, I can't shake the belief that there must be a way to beg W|A to leave the digits visible on the first page. Vanishing digits is such an outlier in the realm of user interface, I struggle to understand its purpose.
BTW, thinking that this was W|A's subtle way of selling me the Pro version, I coughed up $65 only to find that the Pro version had the same behavior.
Does anyone else see the same behavior I'm describing of Vanishing Digits or is my system totally whacked?
