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.
