About wxMaxima

wxMaxima is a graphical user interface for the computer algebra system Maxima:

a program that solves mathematical problems by manipulating

equations (and outputting the resulting formula), instead of just

calculating a number. wxMaxima eases the use of Maxima by making

most of its commands available through a menu system and by

providing input dialogs for commands that require more than one

argument. It also implements its own display engine that outputs

mathematical symbols directly instead of depicting them with

ASCII characters.

wxMaxima also features 2D and 3D inline plots, simple animations,

mixing of text and mathematical calculations to create documents,

exporting of input and output to TeX, document structuring and a

browser for Maxima's manual including command index and full text

searching.
