<h2 class="section"> 3.2 Lisp and Maxima </h2>
241
<p>Maxima is written in Lisp, and it is easy to access Lisp functions and variables
242
from Maxima and vice versa.
243
Lisp and Maxima symbols are distinguished by a naming convention.
244
A Lisp symbol which begins with a dollar sign <code>$</code> corresponds to
245
a Maxima symbol without the dollar sign.
246
A Maxima symbol which begins with a question mark <code>?</code> corresponds to
247
a Lisp symbol without the question mark.
248
For example, the Maxima symbol <code>foo</code> corresponds to the Lisp symbol <code>$foo</code>,
249
while the Maxima symbol <code>?foo</code> corresponds to the Lisp symbol <code>foo</code>,
250
Note that <code>?foo</code> is written without a space between <code>?</code> and <code>foo</code>;
251
otherwise it might be mistaken for <code>describe ("foo")</code>.
253
<p>Hyphen <code>-</code>, asterisk <code>*</code>, or other special characters in Lisp symbols
254
must be escaped by backslash <code>\</code> where they appear in Maxima code.
255
For example, the Lisp identifier <code>*foo-bar*</code> is written <code>?\*foo\-bar\*</code> in Maxima.
257
<p>Lisp code may be executed from within a Maxima session.
258
A single line of Lisp (containing one or more forms) may be executed
259
by the special command <code>:lisp</code>. For example,
261
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="example">(%i1) :lisp (foo $x $y)
262
</pre></td></tr></table>
264
<p>calls the Lisp function <code>foo</code> with Maxima variables <code>x</code> and <code>y</code> as arguments.
265
The <code>:lisp</code> construct can appear at the interactive prompt
266
or in a file processed by <code>batch</code> or <code>demo</code>, but not in a file processed by
267
<code>load</code>, <code>batchload</code>, <code>translate_file</code>, or <code>compile_file</code>.
269
<p>The function <code>to_lisp()</code> opens an interactive Lisp session.
270
Entering <code>(to-maxima)</code> closes the Lisp session and returns to Maxima.
272
<p>Lisp functions and variables which are to be visible in Maxima as
273
functions and variables with ordinary names (no special punctuation)
274
must have Lisp names beginning with the dollar sign <code>$</code>.
276
<p>Maxima is case-sensitive, distinguishing between lowercase and uppercase letters
277
in identifiers, while Lisp is not.
278
There are some rules governing the translation of names between Lisp and Maxima.
282
A Lisp identifier not enclosed in vertical bars corresponds to a Maxima identifier
284
Whether the Lisp identifier is uppercase, lowercase, or mixed case, is ignored.
285
E.g., Lisp <code>$foo</code>, <code>$FOO</code>, and <code>$Foo</code> all correspond to Maxima <code>foo</code>.
287
A Lisp identifier which is all uppercase or all lowercase
288
and enclosed in vertical bars corresponds to a Maxima identifier with case reversed.
289
That is, uppercase is changed to lowercase and lowercase to uppercase.
290
E.g., Lisp <code>|$FOO|</code> and <code>|$foo|</code>
291
correspond to Maxima <code>foo</code> and <code>FOO</code>, respectively.
293
A Lisp identifier which is mixed uppercase and lowercase
294
and enclosed in vertical bars corresponds to a Maxima identifier with the same case.
295
E.g., Lisp <code>|$Foo|</code> corresponds to Maxima <code>Foo</code>.
298
<p>The <code>#$</code> Lisp macro allows the use of Maxima expressions in Lisp code.
299
<code>#$<var>expr</var>$</code> expands to a Lisp expression equivalent to the Maxima expression <var>expr</var>.
301
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="example">(msetq $foo #$[x, y]$)
302
</pre></td></tr></table>
304
<p>This has the same effect as entering
306
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="example">(%i1) foo: [x, y];
307
</pre></td></tr></table>
309
<p>The Lisp function <code>displa</code> prints an expression in Maxima format.
311
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="example">(%i1) :lisp #$[x, y, z]$
312
((MLIST SIMP) $X $Y $Z)
313
(%i1) :lisp (displa '((MLIST SIMP) $X $Y $Z))
316
</pre></td></tr></table>
317
<p>Functions defined in Maxima are not ordinary Lisp functions.
318
The Lisp function <code>mfuncall</code> calls a Maxima function.
321
<table><tr><td> </td><td><pre class="example">(%i1) foo(x,y) := x*y$
322
(%i2) :lisp (mfuncall '$foo 'a 'b)
324
</pre></td></tr></table>
325
<p>Some Lisp functions are shadowed in the Maxima package, namely the following.
327
<p><code>complement</code>,
328
<code>continue</code>,
331
<code>functionp</code>,
347
and <code>gcd</code>.

<h2 class="section"> 3.3 Garbage Collection </h2>
370
<p>Symbolic computation tends to create a good deal
371
of garbage, and effective handling of this can be crucial to successful
372
completion of some programs.
374
<p>Under GCL, on UNIX systems where the mprotect system call is available
375
(including SUN OS 4.0 and some variants of BSD) a stratified garbage collection
376
is available. This limits the collection to pages which have been recently
377
written to. See the GCL documentation under ALLOCATE and GBC. At the
378
Lisp level doing (setq si::*notify-gbc* t) will help you determine which
379
areas might need more space.

- Function: integrate (expr, var)
573
- Function: integrate (expr, var, a, b)
574
Attempts to symbolically compute the integral of `expr' with

respect to `var'. `integrate (expr, var)' is an indefinite
576
integral, while `integrate (expr, var, a, b)' is a definite
