# Maxima CAS Interface

## Purpose

Provides interface with Maxima, an open-source computer algebra system for symbolic computation.

## Capabilities

- Symbolic manipulation and simplification
- Calculus operations (differentiation, integration)
- Tensor and differential geometry
- Polynomial factorization
- Laplace/Fourier transforms

## Usage Guidelines

1. **Command Syntax**: Use Maxima command conventions
2. **Simplification**: Apply ratsimp, radcan, trigsimp as appropriate
3. **Calculus**: Use diff, integrate, limit functions
4. **Output Formatting**: Control display with display options

## Tools/Libraries

- Maxima
