okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual section of the group chat πΈ 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 π
β¨ NAME β¨
xmaxima β graphical frontend to maxima computer algebra system π¦
π SYNOPSIS π
xmaxima
that's it. that's the whole synopsis. she doesn't need arguments, she doesn't need flags, she just is π
π DESCRIPTION π
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 π 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 π«Ά
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 π 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 β¨
and when you start her up, a maxima primer appears on startup, which lets the user execute demos of maxima functionality with the mouse π±οΈπ click around, watch the math happen, obsessed fr fr.
β OPTIONS β
xmaxima takes no options.
literally none. zero. the empty set. she said "I don't need options, I'm enough" π and honestly? valid. periodt.
πΈ SEE ALSO πΈ
