.TH "WXMAXIMA" "1" 
.SH "NAME" 
wxmaxima \(em wxWidgets interface for maxima 
.SH "SYNOPSIS" 
.PP 
\fBwxmaxima\fR 
.SH "DESCRIPTION" 
.PP 
This manual page documents briefly the 
\fBwxmaxima\fR command. 
.PP 
It was written for the \fBDebian\fP distribution 
because the original program does not have a manual 
page. Instead, it has documentation in 
it's Help       menu. 
.PP 
\fBwxmaxima\fR is a rather self-explanatory 
front-end to the maxima computer algebra system. It  
provides a graphical interface and 2D formated output display 
for maxima. Its menu system facilitates the access to a huge part of 
the maxima native set of commands and also to a browsable maxima 
help. The dialogue windows make easy the introduction of 
mathematical entities such as limits, matrices, etc. 
.PP 
maxima is a free (GPL) common lisp implementation based of the 
original computer algebra system Macsyma developed at MIT. It 
has full documentation (HTML and info) included in the  
maxima-doc Debian package. 
.PP 
It uses the cross-platform GUI toolkit wxWidgets and 
runs natively on different operative systems. 
 
.SH "OPTIONS"
