As for working with S-expressions, you get pretty close with FullForm in Mathematica: http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/ref/FullForm.html However it might be worth checking whether Maxima has support for S-expression input. If not, it would be much, much simpler to implement S-expression for Maxima, than reimplementing an entire symbolic algebra system in Racket. -- Jens Axel Søgaard _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/users
