MATH/STAT COFFEE TIME: The Maxima Computer Algebra System
The Department of Mathematics & Statistics will hold its third Coffee Time event of 2021-2022 at 1:25 p.m. on 3/28 with Dr. Buz Buskirk, who will present "The Maxima Computer Algebra System."
The computer algebra system (CAS) Maxima can do almost anything that other CASs like Mathematica, Maple, or Matlab can do. There is one HUGE difference: Maxima is FREE! This talk will introduce some of the capabilities that apply to algebra, calculus I—III, linear algebra, differential equations, graphing (2-D, 3-D, polar, parametric, and more). Please bring a laptop with you.
Maxima/wxMaxima runs on all major computer operating systems: Linux, Mac, Windows, UNIX, etc. You can download your free copy at
http://wxmaxima-developers.github.io/wxmaxima/. Make sure to get Maxima + wxMaxima + gnuplot (everything).
Coffee and cookies will be provided. Email Lisa.Kay@eku.edu for Zoom information.
Event Date: March 28 1:25 p.m. Location: Wallace 346 & Online Cost: Free
