Comments and Reviews
If you combine it with Cantor (a KDE user interface), which can use Maxima as a backend you have a very good substitute for Maple and other similar non-free software.
This is the open source program the most similar to Derive, especially older Derive versions. However, there is an important difference when it comes to numbers: Derive tries to show everything as fractions. Maxima goes into decimals as early as possible.
Depends on how you use it, if you write 1.0 instead of 1, one is a float and the other one an “algebraic” one. There are many options to control how the simplifications are performed.
Excellent program for symbolic math. Helped me a lot dealing with linear ODE. Few tutorials around the web got me going.
