Using Maxima Output in Octave
- dhimes 16y agoDoes anybody know how Maxima compares to Sage? http://sagemath.org/ http://sagemath.org/ I got the impression that Maxima isn't being maintained very actively. Last release was 2009, apparently, but there may be more to that story.
- acangiano 16y agoSage uses Maxima among others open source packages [1]. You can think of it as a unified layer and language (Python) that enables you to use many open source mathematical programs behind the scenes.

- octopus 16y agoNice post, I've used Maxima for symbolic calculations since 2000 and I can say it was a great help during my student life :). Since Maxima is based on Common Lisp, I think it will be an interesting application to translate directly, using a Lisp macro for example, the Fortran output generated by Maxima to a Matlab compatible expression. Not sure how easy it will be to implement this functionality, but sure it will be a nice addition to Maxima.
- msarnoff 16y agoMaxima is extremely hackable, because it's entirely written in Lisp. I remember making modifications to the tex() function some years ago because it didn't use the particular notation that I liked, and it wasn't hard at all.
- rick_2047 16y agoI was just wondering if there is a MATLAB compatible library for Control Toolkit in octave so I can use the code I write at school for learning at home.
