   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

• Show HN: Mobile-Friendly Arithmetic Trainer

  ~20 years ago, HN user sophiebits made a nice arithmetic trainer: https://arithmetic.zetamac.com/ (discussed here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1728309 The features I plan to add to make it 'complete':. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• I'm an adult and can't do subtraction, multiplication, or division on paper

  You should also find an online arithmetic drill site and set it up to give you 1-digit addition, subtraction, and multiplication problems. You don't have to memorize all the 1-digit number facts (I didn't until I was in college) but boy howdy will it speed you up. You should drill until you can do about 30 in two minutes. I recommend arithmetic.zetamac.com ; you should select addition and multiplication only,... Source: 8 months ago

• Non Written Arithmetic Games

  I've spent time improving my written arithmetic with games like https://arithmetic.zetamac.com/. Speed drills. I still struggle with arithmetic that is prompted without being written down. I.e. If someone said "43+12" I would find this hard whereas doing this on a written online speed drill is fine. Does anyone have any resources that would say outloud basic arithmetic questions and I can then input the answers? Source: 10 months ago

• Anyone know how to recover/work on your memory?

  I quite like this for helping cognition but weirdly I can still be good at it but have awful memory at the same time. It's quite addictive just press start. Https://arithmetic.zetamac.com. Source: 11 months ago

• IWTL how to do math lightning fast in my head

  Arithmetic game (https://arithmetic.zetamac.com/) is good for testing yourself, and you can change the size of the numbers you're working with if you find you have difficulty with a particular combo. Source: about 1 year 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 / about 1 month 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 / 2 months ago
