Sorry that I did not give you the instructions earlier :).
As I see, Richard Fateman have given some of them already.
Anyway, you may:
1) enter to Maxima;
2) load the parser.lisp: load("/path/to/parser.lisp");
3) Change the path to 'test.txt' in math.lisp in the line:
>>>open "e:/siver/develop/mma1.6/test.txt"<<<
to your system path to Mma example file (test.txt).
4) load the math.lisp: load("/path/to/math.lisp");
math.lisp has a lisp function 'mtest' to perform the calculation.
5) Call 'mtest' function: :lisp(mtest);
6) And now you may see the results of calculations in the predefined
variables (see test.txt):
?a, ?b, ?f(x), ?c, ?g1(x,y), ?g2(x,y), ?r1(x)
(The sign "?" in the variable names is used to access to lisp symbols).
I attached an example screenshot.
Regards,
-Andrey
