As mentioned in https://sourceforge.net/p/maxima/mailman/maxima-discuss/thread/CAFV0ecYDicG9FxGEHxqYyttEQGzZZRfyhM%2B1hs3mD_wmksc9DQ%40mail.gmail.com/#msg58761939, Maxima doesn't have Jacobi am function.
We should add one. The reporter basically just wanted numerical evaluation over the real line for the first arg. Presumably he wanted the second paramter to be less than 1.
In any case, for completeness, we should support as much as possible for numerical evaluation and also whatever simplification rules we can do, along with differentiation.
Strangely, there's a
def-simplifierforjacobi_am. However, this version isn't quite right becausejacobi_am(99.0,0.1)returns a0.95.... so the periodic behavior of the function isn't supported.Fixed in commit [d823b354f48fbf00ff04a353ca074555c779fd22], including tests and documentation.
