Hello there:
I am trying to define some simple piecewise-linear functions that I can then plot. For instance,
(%i01) f(t) := block(
if 1 < t and t <= 2 then
return(t-1)
elseif 2 < t and t < 3 then
return(3-t)
else
return(0))
$
By itself, this evaluates fine, but I cannot get Maxima to graph it. For instance, I run into trouble when I try:
(%i02) draw2d(explicit(f(t), t, 0, 5));
If graphing is my goal, should I be defining f in a different way?
Thanks!
Jorge
