Imaxima is a GUI front-end for Maxima, which can be used within an Emacs buffer for easy access. It offers graphical user interface features to interface with complex mathematical calculations.
One of the best features of Imaxima is that it processes the output from Maxima with LaTeX, which means that it can beautifully render mathematical formulas. It then inserts the rendered math formula image directly into the buffer, which makes Imaxima a great tool for anyone who needs to work with mathematical equations on a regular basis.
If you're already using maxima.el, which is included in the Maxima distribution, you'll be happy to know that Imaxima can be easily hooked in to this mode. This gives you access to even more key bindings and other conveniences, making it even easier to work with Maxima in Emacs.
Another great thing about Imaxima is that it's compatible with multiple operating systems. Whether you're using NTEmacs, Meadow, Cygwin on Windows, or Mac OS X, Imaxima can help you work more efficiently and effectively. In fact, there are reports that Imaxima also runs on Linux and FreeBSD, so it's definitely worth checking out if you're using these operating systems as well.
If you're a Linux user, make sure to follow the instructions for Cygwin to get Imaxima up and running on your system. Once you've done that, you'll be ready to start using this powerful software to improve your workflow and get more done in less time.
