I've updated the maxima symbolic math application on Athena to 5.9.1. From
my message to users:
Maxima on Athena has been updated to 5.9.1 and is now the default. To
run the older 5.6.0 release now:
add maxima
maxima -ver 5.6.0
We are now building maxima with clisp, and a clisp banner will print at launch.
The xmaxima GUI interface, incorporating live examples and online
documentation, and an emacs invocation, with two emacs modes, are
also now available. To run them after adding the maxima locker:
xmaxima
maximaemacs
The emacs modes can be invoked from emacs (launched through maximaemacs) by:
M-x maxima (for maxima mode)
M-x maxima-mode (for maxima-mode mode)
In maxima-mode, C-c C-p starts maxima. and C-c C-k stops it.
