Procedures can be programmed and then run by Maxima to do complex tasks. Much of the syntax for other languages such as Mapie was copied from Maxima. Fuli documentation is available.

To do basie operations, a linę is typed, folio wed by a semicolon, and then entered. This can be done in the windo w above.

Alternately you may edit the blue portions in this buffer, and click on them, to see the result evaluated above and/or inserted in this window, depending on what was specified in the html source for this file. For example clicking below

• integrate (1/(ltx^3) ,x)

You may double click the above formula, and the integral will be substituted into the Maxima evaluation in the other window. There are examples which you may also look at 3d plotting If you wish to have your plots appear in a separate window, go to the preferences button under file, and select separate. You may also go to the netmath page to see some morę capabilities.

Here are some examples from basie calculus. To have Maxima evaluate the derivative of the function below, click on this linę.

• diff (cos (x) ,x) ; returns (RESULT. Maxima can calculate indeflnite integrals.

•    integrate( x/(l+x^A3),x ) ; returns ^ESULT

•    ...and definite integrals with respect to x from 0 to 1.

integrate( l/(l+x^A2), x, 0, 1 ) ; returns (RESULT

•    plot2d(sin(x),[x,0,2*$Pi])

•    plot-3d(x^2-y^2, [x,-2,2] , [y,-2,2] , [grid,12,12] )

•    Also, limits can be evaluated as x goes to infinity:

limit ( (2*x+l)/(3*x+2) , x,inf ł ; produces (RESULT

•    limit ( sin (3*x) /x, x,0) ; evaluates to (RESULT

Maxima can perform calculations to arbitrary precision. The foliowing example computes Pi to one hundred decimal places.
