Thanks, for the help. Here are the functions I created and they
work. I needed one that solved equations for a floating pt. solution
and a definite integral and work in a Python script.
----------------------------------
def MaxIntegrate(x,y,beg,end_):
y1=maxima(x);x1=maxima(y)
a5=maxima.integrate(x,y,beg,end_);a6=maxima.float(a5);
return a6
-------------------------------------------
def MSolve(r1,val1):
a1=maxima.solve(r1,val1);a3=maxima.float(a1)
return a3
---------------------------------------
