you must have a list of commands (you can built it youself) using rmaxima.

Lisp has no auto-completion by default, you can use rlwrap to add such things

edgar-rft: man maxima -> SYNOPSIS rmaxima
13:01:30
edgar-rft
as far as I can read in the intro under NAME only rmaxima (with an r in front of it) has auto-completion but maxima hasn't

oh, that's what unixlisp already said above :-)

rlwrap can autocomplete any repl, only if you build a list of commands.

rlwrap -f your-maxima-command-list maxima
13:12:38

using maxima doc build a list of 1000+ commands

i know, if you do not find rmaxima, then do it youself.

I feel that weyl is more difficult to use than maxima in CL, mybe I must appreciate CLOS.

can maxima show the results in degrees? curiosly linux "bc" can't, it does only rads

i wish more universities would use maxima, but alot use mathematica :/

My undergrad used Maple. We used Maxima in grad sometimes.

of the three big ones (Mathematica, Maple, MATLAB), I lucked out because I could just use octave. Slower, but the exact same code.

That would have been cool. My undergrad had a specific course after the calculus sequence just on how to apply Maple.

I probably use Octave more than Maxima because it has nice matrix syntax. [1 2 3; 4 5 6; 7 8 9]

zetaE_: There is not. The trig functions use radians only. In fact, the word radian does not even appear in the manual.

Maxima doesn't have an idea of what a number represents, so it can't simply show an angle in degrees.

However, you can use the units functionally to add support for conversion between degrees and radians of you really want to.
