Maxima by Example: chap 4: Solving Equations posted

Maxima by Example, Ch. 4, Solving Equations has been posted to
my webpage

http://www.csulb.edu/~woollett

Chapter 4 sections:
 1. One Equation or Expression: Symbolic Solution or Roots (solve),
 2. One Equation Numerical Solutions: allroots, realroots, find_root,
3. Two or More Equations: Symbolic and Numerical
     Solutions (linsolve, linsolve_by_lu, eliminate,
      newton, mnewton, implicit_plot, draw package implicit).

Chapter 4 provides numerous examples of using Maxima tools to solve 
equations.
  Extra attention has been given to matrix methods for sets of linear 
equations,
   using linsolve_by_lu.

The chapter ends with an interactive work session implementing a
   homemade "mymnewton" which is followed by creation of
   a homemade mymnewton function which has at its core the
    linsolve_by_lu matrix based function.

 Readers can download the text file "mymnewton.mac" and experiment
   with the code and experiment with adapting the code for their own uses.

Many of the examples in Chapter 4 are related to common questions
   sent in to this mailing list forum.
