Package wxmaxima-mac-12.04.0-3

wxMaxima is a cross platform GUI for the computer algebra system maxima based on wxWidgets. wxMaxima features include: * 2D formatted math display: wxMaxima implements its own math display engine to nicely display maxima output. * Menu system: most maxima commands are available through menus. Most used functions are also available through a button panel at below the input line. * Dialogs: commands which require more that one argument can be entered through dialogs so that there is no need to remember the exact syntax. * Command line history: the input line has command history and command completion based on previous input. * Create documents: text can be mixed with math calculations to create documents. See the howto (http://wxmaxima.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Howto) for tips on how to use these features. Documents can be saved and edited again later.

You can either use the app bundle in /sw/Applications, which is symlinked in /Applications/Fink, or the "wxmaxima" command-line script. If you get a "Cannot connect to server" message on startup, quit and restart wxMaxima. Install the wxmaxima-mac-standalone or wxmaxima-gtk-standalone packages if you don't want to install Fink's maxima. NOTE: Using '()' and '[]' currently crash the program when entered in the Expressions field of any of the dialog boxes from the menu.
