There are also GUI frontends, but I did not find them a large improvement over the commandline for Maxima. I even made a script to auto-replace Maxima variables in LaTeX files, but it is not available online yet. For spreadsheets and on low-end computers where maxima does not run quickly, I prefer `sc-im` which is unfortunately not in Debian: https://github.com/andmarti1424/sc-im In case anybody wants an unofficial Debian package, I hacked one together here: https://github.com/m7a/lp-sc-im HTH Linux-Fan [...]
