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 formated 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.

       -b, --batch

              message in maxima's output and pause if maxima asks a question.
