Bug#931445: RFS: wxmaxima/19.07.0-1



Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "wxmaxima"

 * Package name    : wxmaxima
   Version         : 19.07.0-1
   Upstream Author : Wolfgang Dautermann and Gunter Königsmann <gunter@peterpall.de>
 * URL             : https://github.com/wxMaxima-developers/wxmaxima/
 * License         : GPL-2.0+
   Section         : math

It builds those binary packages:

    wxmaxima - GUI for the computer algebra system Maxima

To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL:

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/wxmaxima


Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

    dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/w/wxmaxima/wxmaxima_19.07.0-1.dsc

wxMaxima is a graphical front-end for maxima, a powerful and free Computer Algebra System that is 
specialized in finding an equation that solves a mathematical problem, not just a number.
One example would be:

(%i2)	solve(eq1,x);
(%o2)	[x=((-1)/2-(sqrt(3)*%i)/2)*(sqrt(c*(27*b^2*c-4*a^3))/(2*3^(3/2)*b^2)+c/(2*b)+((-1)*a^3)/(27*b^3))^(1/3)+
(((sqrt(3)*%i)/2+(-1)/2)*a^2)/(9*b^2*(sqrt(c*(27*b^2*c-4*a^3))/(2*3^(3/2)*b^2)+c/(2*b)+((-1)*a^3)/(27*b^3))^(1/3))+((-1)*a)/(3*b),x=((sqrt(3)*%i)/2+(-1)/2)*
(sqrt(c*(27*b^2*c-4*a^3))/(2*3^(3/2)*b^2)+c/(2*b)+((-1)*a^3)/(27*b^3))^(1/3)+(((-1)/2-(sqrt(3)*%i)/2)*a^2)/(9*b^2*(sqrt(c*(27*b^2*c-4*a^3))/(2*3^(3/2)*b^2)+c/(2*b)+((-1)*a^3)/(27*b^3))^(1/3))+((-1)*a)/(3*b),
x=(sqrt(c*(27*b^2*c-4*a^3))/(2*3^(3/2)*b^2)+c/(2*b)+((-1)*a^3)/(27*b^3))^(1/3)+a^2/(9*b^2*(sqrt(c*(27*b^2*c-4*a^3))/(2*3^(3/2)*b^2)+c/(2*b)+((-1)*a^3)/(27*b^3))^(1/3))+
((-1)*a)/(3*b)]

Maxima can solve numerical problems, too, though, using floating-point numbers (both double floats 
and arbitrary-resolution floats) or rational numbers (fractions of arbitrary size integers), if needed.

More information about wxmaxima can be obtained from http://wxmaxima-developers.github.io/wxmaxima/.

Changes since the last upload:

  Mainly switched to a new upstream version for which several 100 bugs were fixed.


Regards,

   Gunter Königsmann
