Probably the most straightforward way to link Maxima with R or Excel
is by reading and writing comma-separated data files.
? numericalio says something about the package of functions to
read and write data files, and ?? read_ and ?? write_ say something
about each such function.
An alternative is to generate a formula in Maxima, print it, and copy
and paste it into R or Excel. Maybe "grind" is useful.
