Hi,
it would be useful if you would also tell us what you
wanted to achieve.
Anyway:
- everything in Maxima has a value
- bracketing via "()" corresponds to creating compound
statements in other languages, for example "{}" in
C-like statements, except that no local variables
are obtained
- so (...) is just the list of expressions from left to
right, with the last expression yielding the value
of the whole expression.
