Installation information is available in the file INSTALL. Summary information about this release can be found in the file ChangeLog. A simple usage example: (%i1) pyth:a^2+b^2=c^2; (%o1) b^2+a^2=c^2 (%i2) solve(pyth,a); (%o2) [a=-sqrt(c^2-b^2),a=sqrt(c^2-b^2)] (%i3) integrate(x*sin(a*x),x); (%o3) (sin(a*x)-a*x*cos(a*x))/a^2 For more information on Maxima, see the Maxima web site, <https://maxima.sourceforge.io>.
