Maxima can plot functions and data in two and three dimensions. + +Maxima is a GPL computer algebra system based on DOE-MACSYMA. It +is comparable to commercial systems like Mathematica and Maple. It +emphasizes symbolic mathematical computation: algebra, trigonometry, +calculus, and much more. + +For example, Maxima solves x^2-r*x-s^2-r*s=0 giving the symbolic +results [x=r+s, x=-s]. + +Maxima can calculate with exact integers and fractions, native +floating-point and high-precision big floats. + +Maxima has user-friendly front-ends, an on-line manual, plotting +commands, and numerical libraries. Users can write programs in its +native programming language, and many have contributed useful packages +in a variety of areas over the decades. + +Maxima is GPL-licensed and largely written in Common Lisp. Executables +can be downloaded for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Android; source code +is also available. An active community maintains and extends the +system.
