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.
-- Global variable: nextlayerfactor Default value: false
When nextlayerfactor is true, recursive calls of facsum are applied to the factors of the factored form of the coefficients of the arguments.
When false, facsum is applied to each coefficient as a whole whenever recusive calls to facsum occur.
Inclusion of the atom nextlayerfactor in the argument list of facsum has the effect of nextlayerfactor: true, but for the next level of the expression only. Since nextlayerfactor is always bound to either true or false, it must be presented single-quoted whenever it appears in the argument list of facsum.
