Octave and Maxima (was: (newbie) fractional arithmetic)

[Kevin Straight]

And, at this point, I could mention that Goctave includes functions to
interconnect with Maxima.  (sorry, couldn't resist the chance for a plug)

The maxima() function, in particular, is a wrapper that lets you execute
lines of Maxima code from within Octave (althouh I admit its still a bit
rough)
