Maxima Function
apropos (string)
Searches for Maxima names which have string appearing anywhere within
them. Thus, apropos (exp)
returns a list of all the flags
and functions which have exp
as part of their names, such as expand
,
exp
, and exponentialize
. Thus if you can only remember part of the name
of something you can use this command to find the rest of the name.
Similarly, you could say apropos (tr_)
to find a list of many of the
switches relating to the translator, most of which begin with tr_
.
