   Maxima is a system for the manipulation of symbolic and numerical expressions,
   including differentiation, integration, Taylor series, Laplace transforms,
   ordinary differential equations, systems of linear equations, polynomials, sets,
   lists, vectors, matrices and tensors. Maxima yields high precision numerical
   results by using exact fractions, arbitrary-precision integers and
   variable-precision floating-point numbers. Maxima can plot functions and data in
   two and three dimensions.

   The Maxima source code can be compiled on many systems, including Windows, Linux,
   and MacOS X. The source code for all systems and precompiled binaries for Windows
   and Linux are available at the [10]SourceForge file manager.

History

   Maxima is a descendant of Macsyma, the legendary computer algebra system
   developed in the late 1960s at the [11]Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It
   is the only system based on that effort still publicly available and with an
   active user community, thanks to its open source nature. Macsyma was
   revolutionary in its day, and many later systems, such as Maple and Mathematica,
   were inspired by it.

   The Maxima branch of Macsyma was maintained by [12]William Schelter from 1982
   until he passed away in 2001. In 1998 he obtained [13]permission to release the
   source code under the GNU General Public License (GPL). It was his efforts and
   skill which have made the survival of Maxima possible, and we are very grateful
   to him for volunteering his time and expert knowledge to keep the original DOE
   Macsyma code alive and well. Since his death, a group of users and developers has
   formed to bring Maxima to a wider audience.

   Maxima is updated very frequently, to fix bugs and improve the code and the
   documentation. We welcome suggestions and contributions from the community of
   Maxima users. Most discussion is conducted on the [14]Maxima mailing list.
