okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual section of the group chat 🌸 this is the whole entire vibe on xmaxima, the graphical frontend to the maxima computer algebra system, and we're gonna go through it together, no cap πŸ’…


✨ NAME ✨

xmaxima β€” graphical frontend to maxima computer algebra system πŸ¦‹


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

xmaxima

that's it. that's the whole synopsis. she doesn't need arguments, she doesn't need flags, she just is πŸ‘‘


πŸ’… DESCRIPTION πŸ’…

okay so first thing you need to know: this manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution, because the original program does not have a manual page. not me filling in the gaps for the girlies 😭 we do what we must.

so xmaxima is a rather self-explanatory frontend to the maxima computer algebra system. like, the name literally tells you what it does, she's giving main character energy, she's not playing games 🫢

the menus give you access to online help in html format, and also to "netmath", which is a web-based mathematical exploration tool hosted on the Internet 🌈 yes bestie, the math is on the internet, it's iconic.

plots? plots appear in integrated sub-windows. not popping out into their own chaotic little windows, they're living inside the app, cozy, contained, slay ✨

and when you start her up, a maxima primer appears on startup, which lets the user execute demos of maxima functionality with the mouse πŸ–±οΈπŸ’– click around, watch the math happen, obsessed fr fr.


⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

xmaxima takes no options.

literally none. zero. the empty set. she said "I don't need options, I'm enough" πŸ’€ and honestly? valid. periodt.
