NAME

       wxmaxima — wxWidgets interface for maxima

SYNOPSIS

       wxmaxima

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents  briefly  the  wxmaxima  command  and originally was written for the Debian
       distribution because the original program did not have a manual  page  at  this  time.  Instead,  it  has
       extensive documentation that is in accessible using it's Help menu.

       wxmaxima  is  a  rather  self-explanatory  front-end to the maxima computer algebra system. It provides a
       graphical interface and 2D formatted output display for maxima. Its menu system facilitates the access to
       a  huge  part  of  the  maxima  native  set of commands and also to a browsable maxima help. The dialogue
       windows make easy the introduction of mathematical entities such as limits, matrices, etc.  Besides  that
       it  extends  maxima  with  a few powerful features like the ability to create diagrams with one parameter
       bound to a slider gui control.

       maxima is a free (GPL) common lisp implementation based of the original computer algebra  system  Macsyma
       developed at MIT. It has full documentation (HTML and info) included in the maxima-doc Debian package.

       It uses the cross-platform GUI toolkit wxWidgets and runs natively on many operative systems.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              Help: prints a list of options.

       -V, --version
              Prints the current version.

       -b, --batch
              processes  the file, saves it afterwards. Will halt if wxMaxima finds an error message in maxima's
              output and pause if maxima asks a question.
