NAME

6       wxmaxima — wxWidgets interface for maxima

SYNOPSIS

9       wxmaxima
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This  manual page documents briefly the wxmaxima command and originally
13       was written for the Debian distribution because  the  original  program
14       did not have a manual page at this time. Instead, it has extensive doc‐
15       umentation that is in accessible using it's Help menu.
16
17       wxmaxima is a rather self-explanatory front-end to the maxima  computer
18       algebra system. It provides a graphical interface and 2D formatted out‐
19       put display for maxima. Its menu system facilitates  the  access  to  a
20       huge  part of the maxima native set of commands and also to a browsable
21       maxima help. The dialogue windows make easy the introduction of  mathe‐
22       matical entities such as limits, matrices, etc. Besides that it extends
23       maxima with a few powerful features like the ability to create diagrams
24       with one parameter bound to a slider gui control.
25
26       maxima is a free (GPL) common lisp implementation based of the original
27       computer algebra system Macsyma developed at MIT. It has full  documen‐
28       tation (HTML and info) included in the maxima-doc Debian package.
29
30       It  uses  the cross-platform GUI toolkit wxWidgets and runs natively on
31       many operative systems.
