PolyLog function evaluation

Posted 10 years ago

I am evaluating the following: N[Gamma[3/2] PolyLog[3/2, -Exp[3]]] I got the answer -3.97699 + 1.26361*10^-16 I the real part is correct, but the answer contains a very small imaginary part, probably due to rounding errors. Has anyone encountered similar problems before?

Seems to be rounding errors

In[65]:= Chop[N[Gamma[3/2] PolyLog[3/2, -Exp[3]]]]


Out[65]= -3.97699
