Re: [Maxima-discuss] linear circuit analysis example?

[Nicholas J. <jan...@as...>]

I've done quite a bit of what you're generally referring to in different
programs, spice, octave/matlab, by hand, etc.  I'm not clear on exactly
what you'd like to show. Do you have a textbook example you'd like worked
out in analytically in maxima? Or some general matrix-based approach for
simple circuits?  Do you want this to be time domain and differential
equations? Is Laplace domain Ok? Steady? transient? I personally prefer
templated transfer function matrix approach in the laplace domain.

Practically I do much of it numerically in GNU Octave (like MATLAB but
free, open source) in which the matrix solutions are a bit more efficient.
but I have done some derivation work in Maxima. Very nice for transfer
function derivation, but they can get very messy very fast.
