I am in the writing of a program that deals with rather lengthy symbolic expressions involving unknown functions and differentiation. When running commands like derivatives, it seems that maxima automatically runs into place to simplify the obtained expressions. (This is consistent with the documentation)
In interactive sessions, this is perfectly good, but for my application, it has two major problems : - things are slowed down a lot because maxima tries to simplify long expressions which cannot be much simplified - worse : maxima often crashes which renders the whole program difficult to use My solution would be to disable maxima automated simplification but I cannot figure out if this is possible in sage or how to do it (I am using sage.4.0.1 on Fedora 10) Thanks Nicolas --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
