I'm using maxima for some Control Systems homework problems, and I'm
wondering if there's some way to do expansions in terms of negative
powers. E.g., instead of
(%i11) expand((0.5*(z^2-1.6*z+0.6))/z);
(%o11) 0.5*z+0.3/z-0.8
I'd like to see
(%o11') 0.5*z-0.8+0.3*z^-1
since that form, when formatted (0.5z - 0.8 + 0.3z??), is the
customary form of the expression in controls.
Is there such an option?
