   Stable (slow but steady growth)

   I've been using Maxima since my undergraduate (over 10 years), now with Ubuntu20.04 lts, I become a newbie of SageMath. For a small project (both symbolical and numerical), in particular, student lab activities, Maxima has been a powerful tool for analyzing and visualizing data. (The Android version is also fantastic, but the poor keyboard.)

   Mathematica is always enemy/friend. (My coworkers are all Mathematica speakers.)

   🏁 Competitors: Wolfram Mathematica

   👍 Pros:    Easy for cli user|Lithghter

   👎 Cons:    Good for advanced users of computers (cli is sometimes hard for newbie)|Hard to find official references, tutors, etc

• What number raised to itself is equal to 1/2?

  Graphing x^x on desmos.com makes it look as though the value is always greater than 1/2. Source: 11 months ago

• Data Visualization: Sustainable Throughput Per Freight Car

  =) I've posted a link to the desmos.com page with the data that used to create the graph above in the first reply to the post. =). Source: 11 months ago

• How to check points of non differentiability and discontinuity of a given function in ?

  It might help to graph the function, for example using desmos.com. Source: 11 months ago

• How did you check your homework if it’s ungraded and there’s no answer key?

  Many answers can be checked numerically, even if only for a special case. There are also some sites that will solve certain types of problems, for example https://www.integral-calculator.com/. Graphing also sometimes helps, desmos.com. Source: 11 months ago

• For the regions bounded by y = 6cosx and y= 1/4x^2 -7

  It might clarify your thinking to plot the two curves on desmos.com. You can also use the plots to check your work. Source: 11 months ago

• Integral Calculator

  I think the really neat piece of software behind this is maxima (https://maxima.sourceforge.io/), a rather influential computer algebra system of ancient lineage still in use today in more place than you might think. - Source: Hacker News / 27 days ago

• Rye: Homoiconic dynamic programming language with some new ideas

  In the maxima computer algebra system[1] which was ancestrally based on lisp it has a single quote operator[2] which delays evaluation of something and a "double quote" (which acually two single quotes rather than an actual double quote) operator[3] which asks maxima to evaluate some expression immediately rather than leaving it in symbolic form.[4] [1] https://maxima.sourceforge.io/ [2]... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• True or False

  Use wxmaxima, a free and open-source computer algebra system:. Source: 5 months ago

• C++ library for solving EQUATIONS

  There are several options, here is one of them: https://maxima.sourceforge.io. Source: 12 months ago

• Do you know computer algebra software capable of managing systems of multiple equations with multiple unknowns and multiple variables?

  You may use maxima cas (https://maxima.sourceforge.io/) to solve symbolic complex problems. Source: about 1 year ago
