I tried real --> cl:real and I appended the package stuff from Mike, but
wasn't
able to make Ray's code work under gcl
(package-use-list 'maxima)
(use-package 'pcl 'maxima)
(package-use-list 'maxima)
;; Bigfloat and complex bigfloat classes
;; A bigfloat is basically a maxima bigfloat and contains the mantissa
;; and exponent part.
(defclass bigfloat ()
((value :reader bfloat
:initarg :value)))
(defmethod make-bigfloat ((x cl:real))
(make-instance 'bigfloat :value (intofp x)))
