Re: [Maxima-discuss] Yamwi (was: Construct sequence of identifiers)

[Dr. W. L. <dr....@gm...>]

BTW, mine and Robert Dodier’s code for the finite difference method (FDM) does not work
trying the other tool which offers Maxima online - SageMathCell:

                https://sagecell.sagemath.org/?lang=maxima <https://sagecell.sagemath.org/?lang=maxima>

Therefore Maxima_on_line (YAMWI) is IMO the only possibility to run Maxima code online on any OS.
