Symbolic computation is an essential technique for executing simple to complex mathematical analysis and modeling, not only for scientific and engineering simulations but also for financial calculations. There are plenty of computational tools are available for numerical analysis, but few packages are existing for symbolic computations such as Mathematica, Maple, MATLAB, FriCAS, Sage, Scilab, Axiom, Euler, SymPy etc. Among these Mathematica, Maple and Matlab are exceptionally powerful tools for symbolic computations, but having huge price tags.Maxima is an open sourced freeware and compared with other freeware programs, it has user friendly interface with ample built-in math analytical tools and graphical functions. It can be easily installed in most of the operating systems and proficient of executing both symbolic as well as numerical computations. It can be an alternate to Mathematica, MATLAB and Maple.Maxima has rich mathematical functions and hence has a steep learning curve. But this book is written in simple style, as beginner's guide and outlines the basic functions with appropriate examples that are easy to understand for novices.

ISBN: 1527523845

This book offers an introduction to computer programming, numerical analysis, and other mathematical ideas that extend the basic topics learned in calculus. It illustrates how mathematicians and scientists write computer programs, covering the general building blocks of programming languages and a description of how these concepts fit together to allow computers to produce the results they do. Topics explored here include binary arithmetic, algorithms for rendering graphics, the smooth interpolation of discrete data, and the numerical approximation of non-elementary integrals. The book uses an open-source computer algebra system called Maxima. Using Maxima, first-time programmers can perform familiar tasks, such as graphing functions or solving equations, and learn the basic structures of programming before moving on to other popular programming languages. The epilogue provides some simple examples of how this process works in practice. The book will particularly appeal to students who have finished their calculus sequence.

This book is designed to be a vital companion to math textbooks covering the topics of precalculus, calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, and probability and statistics. While these existing textbooks focus mainly on solving mathematic problems using the old paper-and-pencil method, this book teaches how to solve these problems using Maxima open-source software. Maxima is a system for the manipulation of symbolic and numerical expressions, including differentiation, integration, Taylor series, Laplace transforms, ordinary differential equations, systems of linear equations, polynomials, sets, lists, vectors, and matrices. One of the benefits of using Maxima to solve mathematics problems is the immediacy with which it produces answers. Investing in learning Maxima now will pay off in the future, particularly for students and beginning professionals in mathematics, science, and engineering. The volume will help readers to apply nearly all of the Maxima skills discussed here to future courses and research.

This book guides undergraduate students in the use of Maxima—a computer algebra system—in solving problems in classical mechanics. It functions well as a supplement to a typical classical mechanics textbook. When it comes to problems that are too difficult to solve by hand, computer algebra systems that can perform symbolic mathematical manipulations are a valuable tool. Maxima is particularly attractive in that it is open-source, multiple-platform software that students can download and install free of charge. Lessons learned and capabilities developed using Maxima are easily transferred to other, proprietary software.
