17:13 <McEnroe> i know, this is probably a stupid question, but how can i find x in an equation which is build of variables? i mean that the solution should be like this: x = y^2*z*(2+y^2)...
17:46 <rtoy_> McEnroe: solve might be able to.  Solve is not very smart, however.

20:21 <glen_quagmire> hey
20:21 <glen_quagmire> how do I enter a matrix in a batch file?
20:21 <glen_quagmire> i used to use entermatrix() interactively
20:24 <glen_quagmire> matrix()

22:55 <rtoy_> glen_quagmire: Yes, matrix creates a matrix.
23:19 <glen_quagmire> is there a way to make maxima to always print real part first? for a + b*%i ?
23:19 <glen_quagmire> sometimes maxima prints b %i + a
23:19 <glen_quagmire> for matrix
23:25 <HaraldG> glen_quagmire: Actually I think maxima always prints "b %i + a", because "b+a" is the canonical form of the simplifier.
23:25 <HaraldG> I don't know, why it is "a*b*c" but "c+b+a".
23:26 <glen_quagmire> oh no idea. just started to use maxima
23:27 <HaraldG> It's been that since ages. Perhaps you can ask on the mailing list. Other then that, I think you would need to write "b+a*%i" to get the order you want.
23:33 <glen_quagmire> ok
23:35 <rtoy_> It has something to do with sorting of the variable names.  But I can't remember exactly what.
23:43 <HaraldG> I guess it is "a*b*c" vs "c+b+a" to get constant factors first but constant terms last.
