maxima and inequalities



Can you define what you mean by solving inequalities and
what algorithms you would expect?

For example, given the range of possible expressions
in maxima,  the predicate  "f(x)>0" is undecidable.
On the other hand, is(3<4)   is probably already solved.

Real inequalities? integer inequalities?

I don't know if anyone has plans to do better, but
  it is certainly possible to add such features to
maxima.  If you volunteer to do so, I think people
would be glad to give you advice.

is (abs(sin(x))<=1)  for example?  The commercial macsyma says true.
