David, about projects to work on. Here is my $0.02 about what would
benefit Maxima users.

(1a) more extensive equation solving functionality. My own feeling
about this is that a workable approach is to identify classes of
solvable equations and write a solver for each, and combine them with
a top-level pattern matcher (more or less) which figures out which
special case to execute.

(1b) as part of that, maybe fix bugs, extend, unify, and update the
existing stuff for Groebner bases. I don't know where that stands at
present.

(2a) Fix bugs and extend indefinite and definite integration, maybe
reimplement Rubi or something like that.

(2b) Ensure that all functions which are emitted as solutions for
integrals can be evaluated to a number. I suspect this is largely but
maybe not entirely the case at present.

(3) Fix all the bugs in the polynomial factoring code.

(4) Modify or replace the facts database. It is a relatively simple
scheme which is efficient, but it's not too hard to bump into its
limitations. I don't know what's possible here.


Hope this helps,

Robert
