imaxima.el
Imaxima.el provides support for interacting with the computer
algebra system Maxima in an Emacs buffer. Imaxima processes the
output from Maxima with TeX and inserts the resulting image in the
buffer. Imaxima.el is Free Software released under the GPL.

A sophisticated computer algebra system released under the GPL
About Maxima
Maxima is a descendant of DOE Macsyma, which had its origins
in the late 1960s at MIT. It is the only system based on
that effort still publicly available and with an active user
community, thanks to its open source nature. Macsyma was the
first of a new breed of computer algebra systems, leading
the way for programs such as Maple and Mathematica. This
particular variant of Macsyma was maintained by William
Schelter from 1982 until he passed away in 2001. In 1998 he
obtained permission to release the source code under GPL. It
was his efforts and skill which have made the survival of
Maxima possible, and we are very grateful to him for
volunteering his time and skill to keep the original Macsyma
code alive and well. Since his passing a group of users and
developers has formed to keep Maxima alive and kicking. We
are currently in a transitional state, deciding what
directions to go in next and seeing what our abilities and
resources are. Maxima itself is reasonably feature complete
at this stage, with abilities such as symbolic integration,
3D plotting, and an ODE solver, but there is a lot of work
yet to be done in terms of bug fixing, cleanup, and
documentation. This is not to say there will be no new
features, but there is much work to be done before that
stage will be reached, and for now new features are not
likely to be our focus.
