Maxima by Example, Ch. 6, Differential Calculus Update.
The pdf file mbe6calc1.pdf has been extensively edited to
improve the presentation and the typography.
The batch files cylinder.mac and sphere.mac have been
edited to adapt to some changes in Maxima
internals.
The code file vcalc.mac and batch file vcalcdem.mac
are essentially unchanged.
