Off the real line, Maxima's zeta function does not evaluate to a float, I
think.
Try this:
(%i1) zeta(0.1);
(%o1) -0.60303751985624
(%i4) zeta(0.1 + %i);
(%o4) zeta(%i+0.1)
For big floats, try
(%i9) bfzeta(0.1b0, 29);
(%o9) -6.0303751985624171564886341589b-1
Also, enter "?? zeta" at a Maxima prompt---you'll be able
to read the user documentation for the zeta function.
