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.

This package contains the main executables and base system files.

This program is awesome, but the distro for LinuxMint is quite old and buggy with some of the extra libs included. In particular i need the lapack for working with eigenvals and eigenvectros but the load command fails. load(lapack); loadfile: failed to load /usr/share/maxima/5.37.2/share/lapack/load-lapack.lisp The searchs in the web told me that this and other bugs related with packs have been fixed in the last realeases. Currrent release is 5.39. It is possible to install a newer release the the 5.37? If yes, how?

Maxima is command line. So if you're wondering why nothing happened after install, open your terminal and type 'maxima'. Install wxmaxima for the gui version.

In Symbolic calculations seems to be better that matlab, it reduces the expressions at some amasing leves, much more than matlab!!
