maxima for beginner



Hello Jorge,

The introductory material for Maxima is a little scattered.
Here are some pointers:

 - http://maxima.sf.net/docs.shtml -- links to the 
   Maxima reference manual, and several other documents,
   including a Spanish-language tutorial, "Primeros pasos
   en Maxima", which I like.

   (The reference manual is not a tutorial, but it does
   contain many examples, which you can copy and paste.)

 - Some pages at the Maxima wiki:
   http://maxima.sf.net/wiki/index.php/Understanding%20Maxima
   http://maxima.sf.net/wiki/index.php/Maxima%20helpful%20hints


Please bear in mind that some of these documents are
out of date. In particular, some documents show names of
functions and variables in uppercase, but this has changed:
now all built-in functions and variables are lowercase.

Hope this helps,
Robert Dodier
