FW: [Maxima] bug report, or am I doing something wrong?



Luke,

When you call Maxima, it looks for a file called 'maxima-init.mac'  in
the directory '~/.maxima' and executes the code in it. So, you can write

loga(x,a):=log(x)/log(a)$
or
log10(x):=log(x)/log(10)$

or anything you wish in 'maxima-init.mac' and Maxima will be able to
compute the corresponding logarithms without retyping the code.
