Re: [Maxima-discuss] ML for symbolic math

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

deciding "interesting" facts or locations to plot.
Singular  points, asymptotes, zeroes, .. branch cuts
In complex plane for funcs of a complex variable..
All would be prospects.
I would certainly be happy to see progress on these
topics.
Can ML do this?
Uh, lets try something concrete . . Zerofinding perhaps?
Or factoring?  ( this WAS tried byBG Claybrook, 1973.  Never heard of it?
Why do you  think?)
