Class LTF::RestartingMaxima
In: lib/ltf/restarting_maxima.rb
Parent: SimpleDelegator

RestartingMaxima delegates to a Maxima object. Input can be sent to Maxima only a given number of times (such as through puts or solve), after which a new Maxima process is started. This is to reduce memory usage if a very high number of independant calls are being made to Maxima.

Methods
