Hello,
I am a physics student, and a dedicated advocate of Free Software. I've
used Maple before I learnt that Maxima existed, and now I have switched
on. Trouble is, that I don't seem to be able to do certain things with
Maxima that I could (easily) with Maple. I know the options must be there,
but I just don't know how to trigger them.
1) Specifically, I'd like to reproduce this small demonstration of a wave
packet:
http://aiff.usc.es/~aldenis/var/maxima/paquetedeondas.fourier.integralinfinita.pdfhttp://aiff.usc.es/~aldenis/var/maxima/paquetedeondas.fourier.integralinfinita.mws
These are PDF and MWS (¿Maple WorkSheet?) files outputted from Maple time
ago. I'd like to know how can I reproduce the same calculations and
graphics with Maxima. The file text is in galizan, but it is accessory:
mathematics are international :o)
2) I have also noticed that when I run Gnuplot through TeXmacs, it outputs
its graphics embedded in the editor, but when I trace graphics with Maxima
-- which, I understand, uses Gnuplot -- they appear in a separate window.
It also happens when I use the xMaxima interface, so it is not a TeXmacs
problem, I believe. ¿Any suggestions on how to fix this?
I'm using Maxima 5.9.1 with TeXmacs 1.0.5 on Debian Sid, for the record.
Thanks in advance,
Denís.
