I just completed the process to release Maxima 5.48.
The new version introduces several noteworthy enhancements for symbolic computation, with improvements in performance, functionality, and user experience.
Highlights:
– Unicode-enabled output (when supported by the Lisp compiler)
– Numerous performance improvements across core routines
– New package for symbolic radical denesting
– New package for inferring closed-form expressions from sequences
– New package for simplification of gamma functions
– Resolution of more than 150 tickets, spanning both long-standing and recent bugs
Developed in Common Lisp, Maxima remains a reliable and customizable tool for research, education, science, and engineering.

Many thanks! It’s a pity I never heard of Maxima before. Being hopeless in math I sometimes find myself in need to do some symbolic calculations – I usually tried to use symbolic package in octave-online but never could get well with it. After installing Maxima and quickly trying it I feel convenient the thing is much more to my liking.
