  Description     : graphical Emacs interface to Maxima

Imath mode is a minor mode for Emacs to aid you write a plain text with
math formulas embedded in the text. Formulas appeared in the text are
rendered based on the Imaxima's ability to translate Maxima and LaTeX
commands to beautiful math formulas. 

Imaxima provides a graphical user interface front-end for the computer
algebra system Maxima in an Emacs buffer. Imaxima processes the output
from Maxima with LaTeX to beautifully render the mathematical formula.
It inserts the rendered math formula image in the buffer. Also, graphs
generated by gnuplot are inserted as well. You see the snapshot of the
Emacs which runs Imaxima inside it.

Imaxima can also be hooked in to the Maxima mode provided by maxima.el
which is included in the Maxima distribution. Maxima mode provides more
key bindings and other conveniences.
