Hello everybody.

I have a short question. I have an expression related to the calculation of the Gaussian curvature

-24.*y^6*(y-1.)^7*(y+1.)^7*(4.+6.*y^8-22.*y^6+30.*y^4-18.*y^2)/(4.*y^18-28.*y^16+84.*y^14+4.-136.*y^12+116.*y^10-24.*y^8-52.*y^6+56.*y^4-24.*y^2)^2

that is diverged for y=1 as (y-1)^(-2). 

At the same time substitution of something like y:=1.00001 gives the value almost zero. 

What is the trick?
