Re: Maxima on debian
I believe there is a Maxima package now, either in Woody or in the
works. I have one installed that I grabbed out of `incoming' one
day...
Package: maxima
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: math
Installed-Size: 10640
Maintainer: Camm Maguire <camm@enhanced.com>
Version: 5.4-1
Depends: wish
Description: A fairly complete computer algebra system.
This system MAXIMA is a COMMON LISP implementation due to William F.
Schelter, and is based on the original implementation of Macsyma at
MIT, as distributed by the Department of Energy. I now have
permission from DOE to make derivative copies, and in particular to
distribute it under the GNU public license.
You might also like to have:
export CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs@bittersweet.inetarena.com:/var/cvs/emacsen
cvs login
<empty password>
cvs -z3 checkout maxima
... an XEmacs mode for Maxima that I cobbled together from peices of
the original maxima-mode. (It might work with GNU Emacs also - It's
untested there.) It will probably become part of the Debian package
at some point.

Those who do not study Lisp are doomed to reimplement it - Poorly.
A few months in the laboratory often saves several hours at the library.
