    What is Maxima?

    Maxima is a system for the manipulation of symbolic and numerical expressions, including differentiation, integration, Taylor series, Laplace transforms, ordinary differential equations, systems of linear equations, polynomials, and sets, lists, vectors, matrices, and tensors. Maxima yields high precision numeric results by using exact fractions, arbitrary precision integers, and variable precision floating point numbers. Maxima can plot functions and data in two and three dimensions.

    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.

    Excellent program for symbolic math. Helped me a lot dealing with linear ODE. Few tutorials around the web got me going.

    Said about Maxima as an alternative

    cryoff Best free tool for symbolic computations
    Positive comment • over 3 years ago • as an alternative to   MATLAB

    All open source algebraic software is complete. This could not be different. I have it on my cell phone for scientific research.

    vfrico It does support Symbolic math, but Matlab or Octave not
