   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

• 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 / 13 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 1 month 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: 11 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

• Help with this girls homework because her teacher told her nothing

  Try https://math.microsoft.com/en (Google has also something similar) do it for yourself (if needed to clarify and teach her how to solve the equations 👍. Source: 11 months ago

• [2022 Day 21 (Part 2)] Well, that's a new one for me...

  Same, luckily Microsoft Math Solver was my second search result. Source: over 1 year ago

• what are some useful websites most people don't know about?

  Microsoft Math Solver is really good for finding the answers to math questions, especially since it usually gives you a step-by-step guide on how to solve the problems you give it. (I say usually because sometimes it doesn’t). Source: over 2 years ago

• Thank you, Wolfram.

  Give Microsoft’s math solver a try and see if it’s any better. https://math.microsoft.com/en. Source: over 2 years ago

• Apple has the tools to make a calculator worthy of the iPad by utilizing Live Text and Quick Note

  Yes, that would be a fine addition. In the meantime, stylus-based resources like Microsoft Math and Nebo might Partly get there. Source: almost 3 years ago
