GNU Maxima it's the best of both grounds.


Can I use it one-handed in my workshop? :-) There is no single perfect tool.


Maxima isn't a GNU package, is it?


It's forked from MacSyma and released under a GNU General Public License (GPL).

Cayley (1975–1993), now Magma, predates it somewhat and has recently been used to crack post Quantum cryptography candidates.

It's not a GNU project though.

(Maybe ggp is thinking of the Matlab clone Octave, which is?)


Running in WASM!
