Re: How to call Maxima functions from Octave

[Poul-Erik Hansen]

Hi   
   
I believe that Jeffrey O. Bauer have made an an interface between Maxima and   
Octave at Wayne State College's Mathematics Department. Have a look at   
http://academic.wsc.edu/mathsci/bauer_j/menu.html.   
   
However I have not been successfully in getting into contact with him yet   
   
Best regards
