Package: maxima-sage-doc (5.42.2-2build1)

Computer algebra system -- documentation

Maxima is a fully symbolic computation program. It is full featured doing symbolic manipulation of polynomials, matrices, rational functions, integration, Todd-coxeter methods for finite group analysis, graphing, multiple precision floating point computation. It has a symbolic source level debugger for maxima code. Maxima is based on the original Macsyma developed at MIT in the 1970s. It is quite reliable, and has good garbage collection, and no memory leaks. It comes with hundreds of self tests.

The maxima-sage packages are meant to be used together with SageMath. They contain the version of Maxima that works together with the SageMath version in Debian and use ECL instead of GCL as Lisp compiler. To use Maxima by itself, the more complete and up-to-date maxima package is recommended.

This package contains most of the documentation.
