          Maxima is a version of the MIT-developed MACSYMA system, modified to run under Common Lisp. It is an interactive expert system and programming environment for symbolic and numerical mathematical manipulation. Written in Lisp, it allows differentiation, integration, solution of linear or polynomial equations, factoring of polynomials, expansion of functions in Laurent or Taylor series, computation of Poisson series, matrix and tensor manipulations, and two- and three-dimensional graphics. Procedures may be written using an ALGOL-like syntax, and both Lisp-like functions and pattern matching facilities are provided. Files containing Maxima objects may be read from and written to disk files. Pre-written Maxima commands may be read from a file and executed, allowing batch-mode use.



          wxmaxima is a GUI for the Maxima computer algebra system.



          To install maxima command-line program in all currently supported versions of Ubuntu, open the terminal and type:



          sudo apt install maxima  


          $ maxima

          Maxima 5.41.0 http://maxima.sourceforge.net

          Here is the same input solved in wxMaxima GUI application.

          • @JohanKunRiyanto The input lines in coba.mac are saved by wxMaxima (File -> Save) in a file named content.xml. Each line is enclosed by a pair of XML <line> and </line> tags. How to extract the input lines in coba.mac from content.xml and write them somewhere else using a bash script is too broad to include in this question. It should be asked as a separate question instead.

          • Yes, that can be done with a PHP script, but writing the PHP script is out of scope for Ask Ubuntu. If you've got your own PHP code, you can ask for help debugging it at Stack Overflow Q&A, but you have to show your code.

          • Yes, that can be done with a PHP script, but writing the PHP script is out of scope for Ask Ubuntu. If you've got your own PHP code, you can ask for help debugging it at Stack Overflow Q&A, but you have to show your code.

          @JohanKunRiyanto The input lines in coba.mac are saved by wxMaxima (File -> Save) in a file named content.xml. Each line is enclosed by a pair of XML <line> and </line> tags. How to extract the input lines in coba.mac from content.xml and write them somewhere else using a bash script is too broad to include in this question. It should be asked as a separate question instead.
