   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

  If you like this sort of calculation, check out Frink. "I predict that within 100 years, computers will be twice as powerful, ten thousand times larger, and so expensive that only the five richest kings of Europe will own them." -- Professor John Frink https://frinklang.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Show HN: Numbat – A programming language with physical dimensions as types

  Frink (https://frinklang.org/) is an older language with similar design goals. Frink runs on the JVM and is also available on Android. I use it as a general purpose calculator on my smartphone. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Show HN: Numbat – A programming language with physical dimensions as types

  If I’m reading this correctly, the Frink language has similar features (and also seems darn useful!) https://frinklang.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• The Deep Link Equating Math Proofs and Computer Programs

  When I was in high school units were a key part of science education. Is this no longer the case? Your point about tools that support units is great. Reminds me of https://frinklang.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• GNU Units

  I also highly recommend checking out Frinklang at [https://frinklang.org/]. - Source: Hacker News / 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 / 2 months 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 / 3 months ago

• True or False

  Use wxmaxima, a free and open-source computer algebra system:. Source: 6 months ago

• C++ library for solving EQUATIONS

  There are several options, here is one of them: https://maxima.sourceforge.io. Source: about 1 year 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: over 1 year ago
