    • It seems at the moment as if a big amount of this is going exactly right: It is a shame in this context that the launch for Glow mentors was such a damp squib.

  • Have you been able to get some 3D math representations on this tool? (screen resolution, speed...)
    Thanks to let us know!
  • Hi Tom. Could you give me an example of what you you are thinking about. Maxima does 3D graphing, but I'm guessing that's not what you mean.
  • Thanks for the updates Jonsie!

  • Hi.
    I've been trying to get maxima on my eee pc but it's my first Linux machine. Is there a relatively easy way for the Linux-challenged to do it?

    many thanks!
  • Hi Mick - apologies for the slow response. I've been away snowboarding in Whistler.

    I don't have the EeePC any more, so I can't give you exact details, but there are basically three steps:

    1. Fire up a terminal screen (ctrl alt t if I remember rightly)

    2. Add some extra repositories by editing the /etc/apt/sources.list file - google will bring up some howtos on this

    3. type sudo apt-get install maxima in the terminal

    Hope this works for you.
