> > enhancement release. The current version is 5.16.3.

> > Maxima has functions to work with polynomials, matrices, finite sets,
> > integrals, derivatives and differential equations, linear algebra,
> > plotting, floating point and arbitrary-precision arithmetic, etc.

> > Maxima can run on MS Windows and various flavors of Unix,
> > including MacOS X.
> > There is a precompiled executable installer for Windows,
> > source and binary RPM's for Linux, and tar.gz containing
> > the source distribution.

> > Maxima is implemented in Common Lisp; several Lisps can compile
> > and run Maxima, including CMUCL, SBCL, Clisp, GCL, and ECL.
