Subject description: Computer Algebra System
 

Maxima

Is a Computer Algebra System based on Lisp. It has a long history and is among the leading Free and Open source math projects.

It needs gcl (Gnu Common lisp), gnuplot for graphics and tcl and tk (from packagemanger?) for the included basic IDE xmaxima.

DOWNLOAD
for new Puppy 5.3 slacko :
maxima-5.25.1-i486.pet
maxima_DOC-5.25.1-i486.pet

Alternativ: math-slacko.sfs

New Saluki
the package for 431 seems to work - even with wxMaxima Gui (gcl not needed)

MAXIMA HOMEPAGE
ARCHIV: There is an older package made in Puppy 431
MISC: maxima is also the CAS engine in the sage package.
It can be invoked from the sage subshell (sage -sh, maxima)
BUILD: I made a basic buildscript

Cool Take care, emil

Subject description: Maxima is fantastic
 

Emil,
I first heard about Maxima in one of your posts. After the ten-minute wxMaxima tutorial on Sourceforge (http://andrejv.github.com/wxmaxima/tutorials/10minute.zip) I was hooked. I am about to retire and lose my free access to Mathematica--I won't miss it now!
Thanks for making Maxima easily available in Puppy.

I tested maxima in the new Saluki. The new package of 5.25.1 I made for slacko won't run, but the older package I made on 431 seems to work fine - even with wxMaxima GUI
download and install
maxima-5.20.1-i486.pet
wxGTK-2.8.9-unicode.pet
wxMaxima-0.8.2-i386.pet
