Hi,
We are working on integrating Maxima into a student homework system.
One odd issue we ran into is that if the student enters a variable
that is not defined, under certain circumstances, Maxima starts
asking following questions, for example:
(%i2) overlap: integrate((6*cos(9*x)+6*sin(8*x))*(j-x),x,-%pi,%pi)/%pi;
Is j positive, negative, or zero?
- that's an excellent question, but doesn't work for us, since we are
not running interactively. Is there a way to tell Maxima to just
throw an error?
Thanks!
- Gerd.
