pyMaxima: Features

• GU-interface to Maxima
  
  
• pyMaxima-sessions may be saved as text files or as wxMaxima-files (*.mac or *.wxm). You can edit the text file with any text editor.
  
  
• For printing, pyMaxima-sessions may be exported as HTML files or as TEX files. The TEX files should not be confused with text files.
  The LaTeX files may be transformed into PDF files using the LaTeX-Online-Compiler
  
  
• 2D- or 3D-displays may be saved as *.png or as *.eps files
  
  
• pyMaxima is using pygeo for the 3D-display of the geometry objects as lines, planes or spheres.
  Note: The installation of PyGeo is limited up to Python 2.7
  You have to install the following package, if you are using Python 2.5 to 2.7:
  • PyGeo.tar.gz or
  • PyGeo.zip
  Many Thanks to the blogger for the update of PyGeo!
  
  
• You can save, load or edit the geometry objects (points, lines, planes or spheres)
  
  
• The pygeo-display may be exported as a python skript
  
  
• pyMaxima supports the following mathematical tools:
  • calculus: curve tracing, simple ordinary differential equations, disk-/shell-method for volumes by cross-sections
  • probability theory: significance test, confidence intervall, operating characteristics
  • coordinate geometry: intersection problems, 3D-display
  • matrix operations: transpose or inverse of a matrix, determinant, characteristic polynom, eigenvalue
  
  
  
• pyMaxima is tested under Linux and Windows
