- tonyarkles 8y agoNot sure what prompted this being posted, but I’ll happily throw in my 2 cents. I recently started a project that is pretty math heavy (motion/trajectory planning etc) and was experimenting a bit with different commercial and open source CAS systems. I’ve absolutely fallen in love with Maxima. The learning curve starts out a bit steep, but now that I’ve been using it off and on for a week, I feel pretty comfortable doing all of the algebraic manipulation (and integration/differentiation) I need to do. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who’s got a bunch of equations to manipulate and doesn’t feel confident that they won’t muck something up on paper.
