Overview
wxMaxima is a rather self-explanatory graphical front-end to the Maxima computer algebra system. It provides a graphical interface and 2D formatted output display for Maxima. Its menu system facilitates access to a huge part of the Maxima native set of commands and also to a browsable Maxima help. The dialogue windows make easy the introduction of mathematical entities such as limits, matrices, etc. Besides that, it extends Maxima with a few powerful features like the ability to create diagrams with one parameter bound to a slider gui control.
One can create worksheets, which can include mathematical cells (and the results) but also different headlines, text cells, images, page breaks, etc.
Maxima is a free (GPL) common lisp implementation based on the original computer algebra system Macsyma developed at MIT. It has full documentation (HTML and info) included.
wxMaxima uses the cross-platform GUI toolkit wxWidgets and runs natively on many operative systems.
