Maxima doesn't have built-in functions for these.
Let's translate them verbatim (i.e. domain --> domain, range --> range,
image --> image).

Maxima does not have names for sets at present.
For these I suggest prime_numbers, natural_numbers, rational_numbers,
real_numbers, and complex_numbers. (Eventually I hope Maxima will be
able to do interesting things with named sets.)

Maxima doesn't have a built-in cross product. Two share packages
call it "cross" and another calls it "~". For XML translation let's say
vectorproduct --> cross.
Maxima doesn't have an outer product operator (although one could
invent one easily enough). Let's translate outerproduct --> outer_product.

Maxima doesn't have built-in functions for these.
Let's translate them verbatim.

Maxima has built-in functions for these -- let's translate trunc --> truncate
and round --> round.
Hope this helps, and thanks a lot for working on this!
