Online Algebra Calculator
Many of users do not use powerful Maxima computer algebra system for systematic work, but for ad hoc algebraic calculations – equations, functions, matrixes, etc. only. To do this job, it is not useful to download the whole application from a web site.
Function: evolution (<F>, <y0>, <n>, ..., options, ...); Draws <n+1> points in a two-dimensional graph, where the horizontal coordinates of the points are the integers 0, 1, 2, ..., <n>, and the vertical coordinates are the corresponding values <y(n)> of the sequence defined by the recurrence relation y(n+1) = F(y(n))
With initial value <y(0)> equal to <y0>. <F> must be an expression that depends only on one variable (in the example, it depend on <y>, but any other variable can be used), <y0> must be a real number and <n> must be a positive integer.
There are also some inexact matches for evolution. Try ?? evolution to see them.
