<expand|tmdoc-title|Maxima>
<name|Maxima> is not alone one of the oldest and best computer algebra
systems around, it is also one of the only general purpose systems for
which there is a free implementation. You can get it from\
<\verbatim>
\ \ \ \ http://www.ma.utexas.edu/users/wfs/maxima.html
</verbatim>
The supported version is <name|GCL>-based <name|Maxima> 5.6. For
<name|CLisp>-based <name|Maxima> 5.6, edit your <verbatim|tm_maxima> and
replace <verbatim|-load> by <verbatim|-i>. For <name|Maxima> 5.9-pre,
replace <verbatim|-load> by <verbatim|-p>. Known problems:
<\itemize>
<item>If you press <shortcut|(kbd-return)> when a statement is not
complete (typically, terminated by <verbatim|;> or <verbatim|$>), the
interface will hang.
<item>If you cause the Lisp break prompt to appear, the interface will
hang.
<item>The command <verbatim|info> is not supported (it is defined in the
underlying Lisp, and difficult to support portably).
<item>Some commands in the debugger work, but some (including
<verbatim|:c>) don't work, nobody knows why.
<item>The command <verbatim|load> sometimes behaves mysteriously.
