What is Maxima?
Maxima is a comprehensive software tool that enables users to manipulate a wide range of symbolic and numerical expressions, including differentiation, integration, Taylor series, Laplace transforms, ordinary differential equations, systems of linear equations, polynomials, and various data structures such as sets, lists, vectors, matrices, and tensors. The system provides high-precision numeric results by leveraging exact fractions, arbitrary precision integers, and variable precision floating-point numbers. Additionally, Maxima offers the capability to generate two-dimensional and three-dimensional plots of functions and data
