    • 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.

    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.
