Re: [Maxima-discuss] Use Lisp complex numbers in Maxima?

[Richard F. <fa...@be...>]

I think that if we had a notation and operations specifically on them, 
it wouldn't
interfere with anything already in Maxima.
And someone might find a use.  Like add and multiply "natively".


?complex(1,2)   doesn't quite do it because  in Lisp  #c(1 2)  is an 
atom and therefore
part(%,1)   etc won't work and there are other issues.

Maybe ?.complex(1,2)  ??
