wxMaxima

What wxMaxima is

wxMaxima is a document based graphical user interface (GUI), that provides the full functionality and flexibility for the computer algebra system (CAS) Maxima. The calculations that are entered in wxMaxima are performed by the Maxima command-line tool in the background. wxMaxima allows one to use all of Maxima’s functions and is one of the most popular GUI’s for Maxima.

What wxMaxima offers

wxMaxima offers users a graphical display and many features that make working with Maxima easier. wxMaxima provides convenient wizards, for accessing the most commonly used features. wxMaxima provides menus and dialogs for many common Maxima commands, autocompletion, inline plots and simple animations. wxMaxima allows one to export any cell’s contents (or, if that is needed, any part of a formula, as well) as text, as LaTeX or as MathML specification at a simple right-click. Indeed, an entire workbook can be exported, either as a HTML file or as a LaTeX file.
