MAXIMA is a fairly complete computer algebra system.
This system MAXIMA is a COMMON LISP implementation due to William F.
Schelter, and is based on the original implementation of Macsyma at
MIT, as distributed by the Department of Energy. I now have
permission from DOE to make derivative copies, and in particular to
distribute it under the GNU public license. See the file COPYING
included in the distribution. Thus these files may now be redistributed
