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,
and vectors, matrices, and tensors. Maxima produces high precision results
by using exact fractions and arbitrarily long floating point
representations, and can plot functions and data in two and three
dimensions.
