Dear Maxima community,
It is very hard to find some additional information about Maxima on
internet, because the most google hits are about nissan maxima,
maximas and minimas of some functions and so on. So I would like to
suggest, to rename Maxima in some more unique name.
Here are my suggestions:
Since Maxima is a descendant of Macsyma how about:
MacsymaNG <- Macsyma new/next generation.
OpenMacsyma <- similar to DOE Macsyma.
MacsymaS <- Macsyma Schelter's edition.
Or sine Maxima is fully implemented in Common Lisp, how about:
Maclisy <- Mathematical Common Lisp System or Mathematical Calculation System.
So what think you about it?
BTW: Does anybody know what Macsyma stands for?
Have a nice day.
Bye.
Waldemar.
