# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. # Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and # the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. # You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| maxima: maxima (a computer algebra system) maxima: maxima: Maxima is a GPL computer algebra system based on DOE-MACSYMA. maxima: maxima: It is comparable to commercial systems like Mathematica and Maple end maxima: emphasizes symbolic mathematical computation in algebra, trigonometry, maxima: calculus, and much more. maxima: maxima: Homepage: http://maxima.sourceforge.net/ maxima: maxima:
