I want to write a conversion function for maxima, how can I begin?



Hi,

( If no one gives you better advices I will try to do my best, although
I'n not an expert)

ALso 3 things seems to be important to me ( for begining) :

- some Maxima futures which are not in C :
	use map instead of for,
	"for c in" statement
	you can use not integer parameters in for
	
- different behaviour of typical instructions ( when you translate code
from Maxima to c, the behaviour maybe different then expected)

- Maxima packages which are not in C ( like mnewton ), so you  have to
find similar package or write own function
