Free and Open Source Alternative to Macsyma or Maple

Maxima is a free, open source computer algebra system, which is primarily used for symbolic computation, including differentiation and integration. However, it also offers support for numerical capabilities as well, such as floating-point arithmetic and arbitrary-precision arithmetic. The software is based on the 1982 version of Macsyma, which is one of the most widely-utilized computer algebra systems. With that said, it lacks some of the advanced functions that were added to Macsyma in later years, or that are found in more modern CAS packages.

  • Pros

    • A free, open source and cross-platform CAS
    • Supports core functionality from Macsyma
    • Can plot data in two or three dimensions
    • Offers some support for other programming languages

  • Cons

    • Lacks some of the later enhancements made to Macsyma
    • Code based on newer versions of Macsyma may not work
    • Not ideal for factorization of large numbers
    • Other CAS packages are better for polynomial manipulations

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
