Re: [Axiom-math] Some questions about Axiom

[Ralf Hemmecke]

Hi Erik,

I have not answered all questions, but look at

http://axiom-wiki.newsynthesis.org/SandboxErik

Perhaps, it helps you a bit.

Note that AXIOM does not invent mathematics for you.
In any Computer algebra system, there are things that are implemented
and things that are not. Usually, if it takes too long to find the
appropriate function that does the job in hyperdoc or the online
documentation, just program the mathematical formulas yourself.

I can help with translating mathematics into the language that Axiom
understands, but your homework is to provide the mathematical formulas.

Ralf

PS: The answer to
"""Is it possible to find the distance between the line and a point?"""
is simply "yes". Axiom is not needed for this. ;-)
