Maxima+Java+MATHML



Huh?  MathML is unwritable by humans.  You must have a program for math
entry.
You would probably do much much better to modify that program so that a
human can type
ordinary infix math.  then the program produces (say) lisp or trees or
something not MathML.
 
If you insist on getting MathML as output, I think there is some maxima to
MathML program.
 
but in fact MathML primarily works for math appearance, and the semantics
(that is, what Maxima uses)
is ambiguous, and so it is in general not possible to take MathML as input
to Maxima, simply because
there is no way to tell what MathML really means.
 
Sorry to disappoint you about MathML.

Hi everyone! 


I need a little help! 


I want to make a web application, using MATHML as data entry and  MAXIMA 
who can interpret this xml and return the result of the mathematical 
expression written in MathML. 
There is some MAXIMA API to communicate with java? 
With MAXIMA is possible to interpret a document MathML? 


Thank you for your attention! 


Greetings!
