Any suggestion for programming?



Thank you very much for your instructive suggestions.
Perhaps it will be a long way for me to grasp the
Maxima. 

When I read the introduction of "the maxima book"
today, I was deeply moved by the story of Dr.
Schelter, who stilly maintain the system until his
untimely death.

Best regards,

Zou Yuan-Chuan
