Hi All!
Is it possible to force Maxima to behave more like Matlab with regard to
internal arithmetic precision. I am trying to solve a system of linear
equations with linsolve. Maxima converts the numbers to rational numbers
and does the gaussian elimination with this rational numbers and gives
me the exact results. Can I force Maxima to do the internal arithmetic
with limited floating point precision? I want to get results similar to
Matlab. What I am saying is: Maxima gives too perfect solution :)
