Description-en: Computer algebra system -- emacs interface
Maxima is a fully symbolic computation program. It is full featured
doing symbolic manipulation of polynomials, matrices, rational
functions, integration, Todd-coxeter methods for finite group
analysis, graphing, multiple precision floating point computation.
It has a symbolic source level debugger for maxima code. Maxima is
based on the original Macsyma developed at MIT in the 1970s. It is
