You mean that Mma returns something different?  I think you need to say
1.780950000<lots more zeroes>0.  Something about how mma does some kind
of significance arithmetic or something.  I get something close to
Maple's value then.

I looked at bffac a while back that is the asymptotic series for log
gamma.  A peek at bfpsi shows that it is probably also the asymptotic
series for psi.  Probably A&S 6.3.18.

(We should document these routines.)

When I re-did the Mma calculation, all three values agreed. Sorry about that.

I think there is a clever modification of 6.3.18. If I figure it out, I'll
append a comment. Let's see if we can tweak bfpsi0 to work better in the
complex plane...

### request for help getting maxima to plot the like i would want

Hello everybody,

I have been using and developing linux for 3 years and am an experienced
user. I am following some basic mathematical classes on my university.
In this collage I have to use software to calculate and analyze
functions. The software that is used is called Derive:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derive_computer_algebra_system

For a real FLOSS user this is not an option, so I went trying out all
the mathematical tools for GNU/Linux. I think maxima is the program that
should be able to do all the calculations and visualisations on the
functions I use. However after spending a day working and trying I cant
get my functions to plot the way I want and to calculate on them
(differentiations / Integration / Compare / Solve).

I tried to do somethings but its not working out very well.

Would somebody be willing to help me out, and demonstrate the command
required to be able to plot in almost exactly the same way as the 2
example pages with the plots, that I included as attachment. (see this

Kind regards,

Jelle

Formulas and things i was working on:

f(z):=-x-y+5;
f(z):=9-x^2-Y^2;
f(z):=5-x^2;

f(z):=-2*x-y+4;
f(z):=-x-3*y+6;
f(z):=x+y-4;

f(z):=x^2+y^2=r^2;
r:3;

f(z0):=0=y-x^2;
f(z1):=1=y-x^2;
f(z4):=4=y-x^2;

solve(f(z0));

f(z):=5-x^2;
plot2d(f(z),[x,-6,6],[y,-6,6],[xlabel,"X"],[ylabel,"Y"],[gnuplot_preamble,"set

xzeroaxis;set yzeroaxis;unset border;set xtics"]);

plot3d(f(z),[x,-6,6],[y,-6,6]);

Hello,

You can try this code with Maxima 5.14:

load(draw)$draw3d(implicit(z=-x-y+5, x,0,5, y,0,5, z,0,5))$

draw3d(surface_hide = true,
implicit(z=9-x^2-y^2, x,-4,4, y,-4,4, z,0,10))$/* Define the parametric curve: x=t, y=2, z=5-t^2 */ draw3d(parametric(t,2,5-t^2, t,-5,5))$

Hi Mario,

Thank you for your help, I compiled the latest maxima and have been

However I am still unable to get an X-ax and Y-Ax in the middle:

Y
|
|
----------- X
|
|

I have been trying the following input, however I cant get it right.

I got a function that I substitute with an other function creating a new
function that I want to plot. I think I really need a good document with
examples how to port math that you do with your hands and head to
something I can enter in maxima.

function: z=y-x^2;
function, z=4;
solve(%,y);
plot2d(%,[x,-10,10]);

f1: 4;
f2: y-x^2;
solve(f1=f2,y);
draw2d(explicit(%,x,-6,6));

Kind regards,

Jelle

### Problem with "globalsolve:true"


Hi,

Does anybody understand why K2 in the following script is not solved global?
What am I doing wrong? In my opinion the last line should be:
M(z)=z*A-(q*z^2)/2

(%i1) M(z)::=K2+A*z-q*z^2/2;
(%o1) M(z)::=K2+A*z+((-q)*z^2)/2

(%i2) globalsolve:true$(%i3) solve([M(z)=0,z=0],[K2,z]); (%o3) [[K2=0,z=0]] (%i4) display(M(z))$

M(z)=K2+z*A-(q*z^2)/2

This is an (baroque) example showing options related to axis in 3d (you
probably won't need to use all of them!):

draw3d(
xaxis=true, xaxis_color = red, xaxis_type=solid, xaxis_width=2,
yaxis=true, yaxis_color = aquamarine, yaxis_type=solid,
yaxis_width=4,
zaxis=true, zaxis_color = "#ff25cb", zaxis_type=dots, zaxis_width=6,
xrange = [-1,6], yrange = [-1,6], zrange = [-1,6],
xlabel = "Athos", ylabel = "Portos", zlabel = "Aramis",
user_preamble= "set xyplane at 0",
implicit(z=-x-y+5, x,0,5, y,0,5, z,0,5));

> f1: 4;
> f2: y-x^2;
> solve(f1=f2,y);
> draw2d(explicit(%,x,-6,6));

Note in this example that %[1] is the 1st component of the list returned
by solve, which is an equation, and rhs returns its right hand side:

f1: 4;
f2: y-x^2;
solve(f1=f2,y);
draw2d(explicit(rhs(%[1]),x,-6,6));

### Re: Problem with "globalsolve:true"

globalsolve does not redefine functions.  You seem to be using much more
complicated syntax and ideas than needed. Also you should use linsolve
if you want to have globalsolve work. Solve on systems apparently
ignores globalsolve, perhaps because algebraic systems may have many
solutions... which should be assigned globally>

Try

M:  K2+A*z-q*z^2/2;
globalsolve:true;

linsolve([M=0,z=0],[K2,z]);

ev(M);

or just substituting z=0 in Helge Hansen wrote:
