Maxima Reviews and details

• 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 / 10 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

• What is CAS?

  If you want to try a PC-based CAS software package, download Maxima (which is open-source). Source: about 1 year ago

• TeXmacs: yet another great tool I found after more than 10 years of using LaTeX

  I tried TeXmacs ages ago when I first started learning LaTeX, and I found that I preferred using a plain text editor with good LaTeX support (Emacs + AUCTeX). However, I do like using TeXmacs as a GUI frontend for Maxima, a free computer algebra system: https://i.imgur.com/5lg69ih.png. Source: about 1 year ago

• [2022 Day 21 (Part 2)] [Java] I literally have a working answer, but the AoC Server says "no"

  I also get the ...37 answer from my own code (which also inverts the chain) on the original input, and from both Maxima and Emacs Calc on your text version of the equation. Source: over 1 year ago

• -🎄- 2022 Day 21 Solutions -🎄-

  Where k is the side that is constant, x is the value of humn, and f is complicated and unknown. While I waited for my old mate Maxima to install, I realised that x only appeared once and f only consists of the four basic operations, so it's probably linear. So either it's a bunch of things that can be reduced to a constant, plus a bunch of things that can be reduced to a coefficient of x, or x appears on the right... Source: over 1 year ago

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

  You can also use maxima, though it definitely takes a bit of getting used to. Source: over 1 year ago

• Free CLI util for computer algebra - to evaluate, solve equations, differentiate, and more!

  Maxima can also do all this and more. It has a CLI and is scriptable. Source: over 1 year ago

• If you're having problems with maths

  Maybe a software tool like https://maxima.sourceforge.io/ can help? Source: over 1 year ago

• FOSS graphing calculator?

  Throughout my CS undergrad period I used Maxima a lot. There is a nice GUI for it called wxMaxima. Be sure to check the Maxima tutorial bundled with the manual to get the hang of it in a couple of minutes. Source: over 1 year ago

• FOSS graphing calculator?

  I used this one before I started my PhD at a school that could afford mathematica. I remember it being pretty solid and intuitive. https://maxima.sourceforge.io/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Strategies for doing symbolic integration algorithmically

  The Maxima project has another open source integrator that can be looked at https://maxima.sourceforge.io/ as well. Source: over 1 year ago

• I made a stupid error, which led me on to a whole other, very incorrect tangent.

  I ended up learning Maxima as one of its benefits is that it checks that each step is consistent with and can be derived from the previous one. Source: over 1 year ago

• Scheme and ... outputs!

  The computer algebra system Maxima is written in Common Lisp and has TeX output options. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Alternatives to Symbolic Math Toolbox

  I just discovered Maximaa a bit a go. Free symbolics. https://maxima.sourceforge.io/. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Quick Questions: June 08, 2022

  I personally used to use Maxima a while back: https://maxima.sourceforge.io/ . I found it useful for quickly grinding through simple stuff that I didn’t want to do by hand, or for double checking my work. Source: almost 2 years ago

• What is this problem called? Are there known efficient algorithms for it?

  See for example the way Maxima's simplifier works here. Source: about 2 years ago

• Experiences with intelligent tutoring systems?

  I have made extensive use of STACK (and before that, a different but similar system) for mathematics teaching. This does not build a persistent model of the student, but it is intelligent in a different sense. It allows students to enter arbitrary mathematical expressions as answers, and uses Maxima to process those answers. This means that you can write complex logic to detect common classes of errors, provide... Source: about 2 years ago
