Talk:Maxima (software)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Though Maxima is released under the GPL, it is not sponsored by GNU, so it is not correct to call it "GNU Maxima". I corrected that. --Macrakis 21:33, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] POSIX Compatible?

If Maxima can run on any POSIX-compliant OS, it should be capable of running on any of the WinNT line, sans Windows binaries.

[edit] Removed from article

an anon tried to add a link to Wikipedia:How to create graphs for Wikipedia articles. Not sure if it could be put in the article. — Omegatron 00:19, 20 September 2005 (UTC) It could be in wikibook about Maxima, but now there is no such book --Adam majewski (talk) 22:04, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GNU

Is it true that Maxima is not a GNU project and should not be linked as GNU Maxima ? Maybe it should be GSL Maxima or Maxima CAS ? --Adam majewski (talk) 14:56, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
