+Maxima is a system for the manipulation of symbolic and numerical
+expressions, including differentiation, integration, Taylor series,
+Laplace transforms, ordinary differential equations, systems of linear
+equations, polynomials, and sets, lists, vectors, matrices, and tensors.
+Maxima yields high precision numeric results by using exact fractions,
+arbitrary precision integers, and arbitrarily precision floating point
+numbers. Maxima can plot functions and data in two and three dimensions.
