wxMaxima is a document based interface for the computer algebra system Maxima. wxMaxima uses wxWidgets and runs natively on Windows, X11 and Mac OS X. wxMaxima provides menus and dialogs for many common maxima commands, autocompletion, inline plots and simple animations. wxMaxima is distributed under the GPL license.

Features:

· 2D formatted math display: wxMaxima implements its own math display engine to nicely display maxima output.
· Menu system: most maxima commands are available through menus. Most used functions are also available through a button panel at below the input line.
· Dialogs: commands which require more that one argument can be entered through dialogs so that there is no need to remember the exact syntax.
· Command line history: the input line has command history and command completion based on previous input.
· Create documents: text can be mixed with math calculations to create documents. See the howto for tips on how to use these features. Documents can be saved and edited again later.
· Animations: version 0.7.4 adds support for simple animations.
