Maxima is now about to be released under the GNU Public License. * Plotting via netmath over the network. * Computations over network * Well tested on a large array of problems. * Source level Debugger for maxima code * Documentation available as html, or texinfo and so info, and so dvi and postscript. * Latest source development version available or look here for how to download using cvs. * Easy to extend in fundamentally new ways, because you have complete access to source, and access to Common Lisp. * Portable to many systems. * Now covered by GNU public license, so it will stay free. * Was the first computer algebra system, and is one of the best. * It is possible to evaluate forms from web pages in local maxima or in remote ones. Also to access pari, octave, and gap from netmath. EOF
