As you may have already noticed English is not my native language. My only hope is that most of the readers are not native speakers either and will not be disappointed with my treatment of the language.

I just spent 3 hours bumbling about the internet trying to find a gnuplot animation demo that actually worked on my OS X with Aquaterm. The official demos and others always seemed to require a data file that was inexplicably not included and apparently unavailable for download. I was beginning to think my system was incomplete. Then I found Yrogirg’s pendulum demo, which reduced the problem to its essentials and I discovered that my system does work. I don’t care if you speak Klingon, you may treat the language any way you like. Thank you!
Dear guy,
I’m a newbie in AXIOM, and I’m using FriCas on my system.
I have a question and I would be glad if you can tell me how:
How can define a new function called mp which get x as input and put x^2 as output,
in a file named test.spad, and how can compile this file and call the function (i.e mp(2))
in FriCas interpreter environment, with some command like )compile.
It’s a mere chance I saw your comment — it was put into spam for some weird reason. Hope my respond won’t be too late.
The file Test.spad:
)abbrev package MP MyPackage MyPackage(SG : SemiGroup) : with mp : SG -> SG == add mp x == x^2and in the interpreter:
(1) -> )compile Test ... some clutter here (1) -> mp 3 (1) 9 Type: PositiveIntegerAs you see I’ve made your function to work on any semigroups (since (^) is defined for them). If you want you can make mp to be just of type Integer -> Integer, just change to:
MyPackage() : with mp : Integer -> IntegerAnd I recommend you using mailing lists for getting help — Axiom’s or FriCAS’s, they both share the same people I guess. These are really friendly places and there are truelly experts in Axiom. FriCAS mailing list.
