wxmaxima -- wxWidgets interface for maxima SYNOPSIS
wxmaxima DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the wxmaxima command. It was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in it's Help menu. wxmaxima is a rather self-explanatory front-end to the maxima computer algebra system. It provides a graphical interface and 2D formated output display for maxima. Its menu system facilitates the access to a huge part of the maxima native set of commands and also to a brows- able maxima help. The dialogue windows make easy the introduction of mathematical entities such as limits, matrices, etc. maxima is a free (GPL) common lisp implementation based of the original computer algebra system Macsyma developed at MIT. It has full docu- mentation (HTML and info) included in the maxima-doc Debian package. It uses the cross-platform GUI toolkit wxWidgets and runs natively on different operative systems. OPTIONS
