LISP and Max/MSP, what's possible
For the hard-core --
I've been following the abcl lisp mailing list, and the Maxima
mathematics package will now run using it. This is from the

--------------
Maxima is a system for the manipulation of symbolic and numerical
expressions, including differentiation, integration, Taylor series,
Laplace transforms, ordinary differential equations, systems of
linear equations, polynomials, and sets, lists, vectors, matrices, and
tensors. Maxima yields high precision numeric results by using exact
fractions, arbitrary precision integers, and arbitrarily precision
floating
point numbers. Maxima can plot functions and data in two and three
dimensions

abcl is the underlying interpeter engine for the new [maxlispj] object:
If you're interested in trying to use this, the j-devel (abcl) mailing
list thread that has the discussion is here:
